Events At The Stephentown Memorial Library

Tax Savings Workshop
Lorri Parisi will join us for a helpful presentation on the many tax savings opportunities available. Registration is suggested. Please join us for this educational session on Saturday, October 9, at 11:30 am.
Toddler/Preschool Story Time
Join us Thursdays at 10 am. In this half hour session we will read aloud, sing songs, move about and do an art project while exploring the world though literature. Parents and children are encouraged to stay after story time so children have time for free play while grown-ups chat and browse for books.
Community Awareness Film Showing
On Tuesday, October 12, at 7 pm, we will show the film “Tapped,” an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water. From the producers of “Who Killed the Electric Car” and “I.O.U.S.A.,” this timely documentary is a behind the scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that should never become a commodity – our water.  Discussion will follow the film, and refreshments will be served.  Bring a friend!
Family Movie Night
On Friday, October 15, at 7 pm we will show the newly released “How to Train Your Dragon” on our large screen. This fantasy action film is based on the children’s book by Cressida Cowell and is rated PG. Popcorn and drinks will be served. This event is free, and all are welcome!

This new group meets one Saturday a month, beginning on October 16 from 11 am to 1 pm in the Community Room. Bring your favorite Webkinz pets and meet other Webkinz owners for socializing and snacks.
