Students who have filled out a form to volunteer at the Voorheesville Public Library and have registered for a mandatory orientation program are asked to meet at the library at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 31, for a one-hour meeting.
Teens should also bring their summer calendars so they know which dates they are available to volunteer. For more information, please contact Debbie Sternklar at the library, or email .
Family Bicycling Day
The fourth annual Voorheesville Family Bicycling Day will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 2. The rain date is June 9. The Voorheesville Family Bicycling Day is a community-wide event that provides families with a safe and fun day of bicycling and family-friendly activities.
This year we will have a true bicycle block party complete with music, food, fire trucks, a bounce house, storytime, craft time, a BMX demonstration, Family Yoga class on the lawn, pony rides and farm animals to pet from Ponies for Hire, and more! All activities will be on a closed bicycle loop (Grove Street and the Rail Trail). Come join the fun.
3D Printing
Join us at 3 p.m. on Friday, June 7, for this introductory class where we will cover the basics of how the Library’s Lulzbot Mini2 3D Printer works. Then we will start personalizing our own designs using Tinkercad, a free and easy 3D design tool.
The library will print your design, and you will be able to take it home. Open to everyone 13 years of age and older. Please register.
Second Sunday Film
The library, on Sunday, June 9, at 2 p.m., will screen a two-hour movie, rated PG-13, which the Internet Movie Database describes this way: “On a summer vacation in the Singapore home of a man she hopes to marry, Chinese-American Rachel Chu is unexpectedly introduced to a rich and scheming clan that strongly opposes its member’s relationship with an American girl.”
Light refreshments will be served.
Needle Felting for Beginners
Please join Alison Swanson at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11, as she guides beginners in a wool needle felting project to create a cute cat. No experience is necessary, supplies will be provided — just bring your creativity! Please register.
Building your brand
Your brand is the unique image or perception someone has when thinking about you or something associated with you. The brand acts as your public image and is what distinguishes you from others.
Join us at 6:30 p.m., on Wednesday, June 12, to learn how to build your own particular brand using an elevator speech, business cards, working a room and unlocking your three Circles of Influence. You will also learn how to integrate social media into a comprehensive networking strategy.
Please register. This program is made possible by a New York State Adult Literacy Grant.
