Learn Spanish ~ and More @ the Library this fall!


Habla español en la biblioteca! On Sunday, September 8 there will be a Spanish class at the library. The class is aimed at children, and adults are welcome to attend. Class will go from 2 - 3:30 3 - 4:30 pm, and is free. But space is limited, so make sure you register by calling the library. Want to get a head start? Use your library card to sign in to Mango (our online language-learning) - you'll be surprised by all the languages available, including Pirate!

Other Things Happening @ the Library in September:

We're hosting a Write & Illustrate Your Own Adventure weekend for young people on September 14 and 15, from 1 - 3 pm each day. On Saturday we'll use story seeds to develop a main character and simple plot and begin writing stories. On Sunday we'll delve into illustration, from traditional picture book styles to graphic novel. The weekend writing workshop is free, and all materials will be provided. Space is limited, so please register at the library.

Jules is offering an Essential Oils workshop on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 10 am.  Learn some natural ways to support your children's health - especially during the change of seasons and the transition to school - and keep those colds and flu away! There is a materials fee of $3 to $7. Got questions? Contact Jules at 518-928-1452.

ArtSplash! with Johanna resumes on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 1 pm. This free class is a hands-on art exploration with gentle guidance. This month's focus: Pen & Ink drawings of architecture. The workshop is open to kids from 8 to 108, though children younger than 12 will need to be accompanied by an adult.  Space is limited, so register by calling Johanna at 659-7375.
