Westerlo Library Notes for Thursday, February 1, 2018
Saturday, Feb. 3, is national Take Your Child to the Library Day. This special day was designated to celebrate reading and promote awareness of all that neighborhood libraries have to offer children and families.
Take your children to the library and you will feed their imagination! A love of reading and books starts with pictures, stories, and rhymes that even the youngest child can enjoy.
Take Your Child to the Library Day is a great excuse to swing by and see all that is available — for free — at your public library.
Memoir Writing Group
The Memoir Writing Group will meet next Saturday, Feb. 10, at 11 a.m. This group provides its members a safe and supportive place to learn together.
Led by Lila Hollister Smith, this group is open to all who are interested in self-expression through the art of writing. The group meets once a month on the second Saturday of each month and new members are welcomed.
Lego Club
Drop in on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. to play and create with Lego. We supply the blocks; you bring the imagination. Miss Lee is also available for homework help.
Story time
Join Miss Lee Wednesday mornings from 11 a.m. to noon for stories, songs, and movement activities designed for infants to children up to 5 years old. In addition to developing pre-reading skills, singing, moving to music, and playing instruments all help foster a sense of rhythm and timing that are essential elements in developing the part of a child’s brain that shapes math skills.
Story times are also a great opportunity to meet other parents of small children in Westerlo.
Technology Walk-In Wednesdays
Do you have a new smartphone or tablet, but don’t know how to download digital materials? Need to brush up on your computer skills — or obtain basic skills?
See Amy on Wednesdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for free, personalized, one-on-one instruction.
