The Westerlo Library has a new bike-repair stand.

The StoryWalk is constructed in the Westerlo Town Park. Walk and read with your family, following the 16 pages of “Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin.

New bicycle

repair stand

There is a new bicycle repair stand available at the Westerlo Library. Tighten up your bolts and screws, adjust your gears, remove a tire, or just hang your bike up to admire it.

The library would like to thank Mad Dog Bicycles in Delmar for helping in the acquisition of the repair stand, when tools were tough to find, and the Westerlo Highway Department, which did the hard work of installing it.

STEAM kits

We have free STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) take-and-make kits available at our library. June’s theme is “Diversions: Fun Things to Do.” New kits are available weekly.

Book club

The June book club book is “Circe” by Madeline Miller. The book club will meet in person, outdoors on our patio, masked and socially distanced, weather permitting, June 17 at 6 p.m.

Spice Take-and-Make

The spice for June is mint. Pick up a sample of mint and three recipes to try: Healthy Honey Lemonade with Mint, Watermelon Salad with Feta Cheese , and Mint and Strawberry Mint Sorbet.

Pandemic Globe Project

Calling all artists, writers, and poets!

The Pandemic Globe project is ongoing. The library has received some beautiful and interesting submissions. The plan is to keep taking submissions up until Labor Day.

Then the globe will be assembled. If you would like to participate, stop by the library and pick up a plate (or more!) to create on.

Trustees meet

The Westerlo Library Board of Trustees meets next on June 14 at 7 p.m.  Join us via GoToMeeting. The link can be found on our website, westerlolibrary.org.
