Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, September 11, 2015

Happy anniversary to me! I can hardly believe that I began working at the Westerlo Public Library five years ago on Sept. 10. I’m looking forward to many more. Thank you all for welcoming me into your community. 

Quilting group

The library’s quilting group will meet on Saturday, Sept. 12, at 11 a.m. at the library. This will be a final planning session for our tent display at the Sept. 26 celebration of Westerlo's  200th birthday. All members are encouraged to attend.

Led by Lila Hollister Smith, the group is open to all crafters who use fibers and textiles at all skill levels.  The group meets the second and fourth Saturday of each month and new members are welcomed.

After school

at the library

Join Miss Lee on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. for homework help, games, crafts, puzzles, music, and a lot more. Programs will also include storytelling, magic, hands-on demonstrations, and visits from special guests. She is also available on Thursdays from 3 to 8 p.m., for homework help.

Story time

Join Miss Lee on Wednesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m., for stories, songs, and movement activities designed for infants to children up to five 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.

 Technology Walk-In Wednesday

Do you have a new Kindle or Nook but don’t know how to download books? 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.
