Digital Photography Workshop
The Petersburgh Public Library will be holding a Digital Photography Workshop. The workshop will be focused on the technical terms and functions of your camera – shooting modes, shooting in manual and topics such as depth of field. There will be a shooting assignment to be brought in for class two, which focuses on a review of techniques, terms and improving techniques.  The class will be taught by instructors from The PhotoCenter of the Capital District.  Participants can bring their own cameras or borrow one from the Library for the duration of the workshop.  The workshop will be held on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on September 26 and October 3 and 10.  Sign-up is required since there is only room for eight students so that they will receive the maximum benefit from the workshop.
Knitting And Crocheting
The Library conducted a survey and interest was shown in knitting and crocheting.  To schedule a time for these activities we would like to know when people would prefer to meet, day, evening, Saturday.  If you are interested in either of these activities please let one of the librarians know when you visit the Library or call 658-2927 by September 28 so that we can proceed with scheduling a day.
Pre-School Story Hour
Pre-school story hour is held every Tuesday morning at 11 am.  The topic on Tuesday, September 17, will be on bears and Tuesday, September 24 will feature chickens.  Pre-schoolers and their care-givers are invited to join in stories, songs, crafts and snacks.
