New on our website
Be sure to spend some time looking through our three new online subscriptions, available to library cardholders. You can now access Consumer Reports free online. Find expert ratings and buying advice from this respected source on our research page. Also new is 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. Very helpful for finding the next book with your favorite character! The third new subscription is TumbleBookLibrary, an online collection of talking eBooks for young children. It makes reading fun.
Library displays
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 library’s September Artist of the Month. Our display case is exhibiting a miniatures collection shared by Rose Lawson. It is sure to please all ages!
Gadgets and Gizmos: 101
Do you know what an iPad is? A Tablet? On Thursday, Sept. 26, from noon to 1 p.m., you can see an overview of everyday electronic devices and their uses. This workshop is for people with little or no prior computer knowledge who wish to learn the basics. Light refreshments will be served.
Thursday afternoon movie
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 today is Gosford Park and the movie for Sept. 19 is The Thin Man.
Musical story time
On Saturday, Sept. 21, at 10:15 a.m., Mrs. Laiosa will be hosting a very special musical story time at the library. For toddlers through kindergarteners with an adult, this program will feature music and movement, stories, rhymes and fun activities.
Free museum passes
Fall in New York State is a great time to go for a drive. Add to that free admission into a great museum or gallery and you have a lovely day trip for the whole family.
