Pre-schoolers and their caregivers are invited to join us for stories, songs, activities and crafts.

The book discussion group will meet on Tuesday, May 14, at 7:30 pm to discuss the book The Tender Bar by J. R. Moehringer. Copies of the book are available at the Library, and new members are welcome to join in the discussion.
Summer Reading Program
Plans have begun for the summer reading program. The schedule will be out in a few weeks. Save the date on Thursday, June 27, at 7 pm when The Puppet People will be back in town with the performance of The Firebird. Youth ages 10-16 are invited to sign up for a special program, Take a DIP (Digital Instagram Photographs) This Summer. There is room for eight participants in this workshop which will be held from 1 to 3 pm, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, June 24, 26 and 28 and Tuesday, July 2, at 6:45 pm. Jordan Elmowitz, Assistant Director, The Photography Center of the Capital District, LLC, will be teaching the workshop. Everyone will learn how to take the best pictures, edit them and prepare them for printing as well as learning the best way to use Instagram. Sign-up is required since space is limited.
