Altamont Library Notes for Wednesday, January 29, 2014

The big day this week is Saturday. That’s because this week’s Saturday, Feb. 1 is Take Your Child to the Library Day. The show starts at 10 a.m.  Many activities are planned, ready, and waiting at the Altamont Free Library.

They include an indoor snowball fight, the details of which, for obvious reasons having to do with the faint of heart among us, are not being released.

There will also be a number of Early Literacy Stations where parents will be encouraged to discover and take home exciting, interesting ways to augment their child’s reading readiness, and a family-wide yoga program.  It’s not a stretch to promise that it will be a fun event for those who are fun-prone and fun-seeking.

Take Your Child to the Library Day.  If that sounds overbearing, let your child take you to the library for Take your Parents to the Library Day.  Either way will work.  Both, once again, are happening on Saturday, Feb. 1, starting at 10 a.m.

Gala tickets

A few seats for the Feb. 8 Winter Wonderland Gala are still there for the taking.  Let us know if you’d like an invitation packet.  Our number is 861-7239.

Book club

There is just one for February.  A fiction group will discuss The Orchardist, by Amanda Coplin on Feb. 16, at 7 p.m.
