Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, May 7, 2020
Do you love your rescue pet?
Of course you do!
Would you like the chance to have your rescue pet highlighted in an upcoming art show at the Voorheesville Public Library? Megan Viscio, local artist and teacher, will be selecting winners, whose pets will be made into mini-sculptures and featured in her art show.
To enter the contest, provide a short, heartwarming write-up about your rescue pet or rescue experience along with several photographs from which Megan will work. The winners will get to keep the mini-sculptures after the show.
If you are interested or if you need more information, contact Megan at or Gail Brown at . Because the library is presently closed due to COVID-19, the art show may become virtual or it will wait until the library can safely open to offer public gatherings. Visit Megan’s artwork at thestudiohouse.blog.

Summer Adventure
Imagine Your Story at the Voorheesville Public Library! We are excited to offer a summer reading program where we will read, create, and learn together as individuals, families, and as a community. We are imagining something entirely new for the summer of 2020. Be on the lookout as we unveil this summer’s program very soon. Check the library’s website for up-to-date details.
Reusable bags
