Voorheesville Library Notes for Tuesday, November 24, 2020
Why wait until after the holidays to re-evaluate your eating habits? Learn how antioxidants and superfoods can help you get, and stay, healthier.
Knowing how to incorporate foods rich in these nutrients into your regular diet may help you live a longer, healthier life. Please register for this virtual Zoom program through Cornell Cooperative Extension. It will be presented by Karen Roberts Mort from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3.
Holiday celebration
virtual story time
This week, the storytime theme is holiday celebrations. The holiday season is here, so let’s celebrate! Families of preschool aged children are invited to enjoy a theme-based, multi-age virtual storytime with an emphasis on early literacy. Mrs. Brown and Miss Lisa will video record a short storytime with an accompanying art activity.
The video link will be posted on the library's website, all of the library's social media platforms, and on the library's YouTube channel. Families of preschoolers can pick up a take & make bag at the library each week. The bag will include the storytime thematic art activity of the week. Each week's bags will be at the library from Tuesday-Saturday of that week. No registration required.
