Voorheesville Library Notes for Wednesday, April 22, 2015
No gift is more special than one that they make themselves. Children in pre-kindergarten through grade four are invited to drop in to the Voorheesville Public Library on Saturday, April 25, between 10 a.m. and noon, for this program where we’ll make parent, grandparent, and caregiver appreciation crafts. These can be great gifts to give to loved ones on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. No registration is necessary.
The Pillowcase Project
Is your child prepared in case of an emergency or natural disaster? Do you have a family emergency preparedness plan to stay safe? On Saturday, May 9, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., educators from the American Red Cross of Northeastern New York will discuss fire safety and general emergency preparedness.
The presentation will cover coping skills all children should practice to better deal with emergency situations. Children in grades three through six will receive a pillowcase to decorate that will hold all their emergency supplies. Parents should plan to attend with their child. Please register for this program.
Mark Twain 100 years later
On Thursday, May 7, at 7p.m., Dave Ehlert, performer and impersonator from Branson, Mo., will be bringing to life the American literary icon, Mark Twain. Twain’s life story will be retold through period costume, impersonation, and his famous quotes with a strong emphasis on the importance of literacy.
Twain is one of America’s greatest authors of the 19th Century and his books are part of American history. Don’t miss out on this fun-filled and educational evening. This program is for middle school through adult ages.
