Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, August 29, 2013
Be sure to spend some time looking through our two new online subscriptions, available to Voorheesville Public Library cardholders. You can now access eSequels, a service that allows you to search for the latest title by your favorite author, find books by character, location or subject, or find the list of titles in a series. This is very helpful for finding the next book with your favorite character. The second new subscription is TumbleBookLibrary, an online collection of talking eBooks for young children. It makes reading fun.
Thursday afternoon movies
From Sept. 5 through Oct. 31, we will be showing a new classic movie every Thursday afternoon, at 1:30 p.m. Movie listings can be found in the Bookworm or online at the library website. The movie for Sept. 5 is Charade, starring Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and Walter Matthau.
Apple picking time

Starlab
On Wednesday, Sept. 4, at 11a.m., Dudley Observatory’s Starlab brings astronomy alive. Starlab is a portable planetarium. All it needs is enthusiastic sky-gazers to enjoy the 3-D experience of this interactive planetarium program. Space inside the Starlab is limited, so please register early. This program is for kids in kindergarten through grade 4.
Artist of the month
The next time you are visiting the library, be sure to stroll the hall art gallery to admire the oil paintings of local artist Susie Flansburg, the September artist of the month. Flansburg has been a Voorheesville resident since 1952. She started painting later in life and credits her accomplishments as an artist to her mentors and friends, Louis Pelky and Ruth Cawley. Our September display case is filled with miniatures, shared by Rose Lawson. With every visit, you’ll notice something new.
