One of our favorite rainy day activities has got to be digging into a bucket of Legos and getting creative. Judging by tonight’s turn out at Lego Club, we’d say we probably aren’t the only ones that feel that way! What a fun crowd and what a great bunch of builds! Nice job, everyone.

Join us Wednesday night at 6:30 for our next Lego Club night! No registration required.

Thanks to the NYS Dept of Environmental Conservation we have a limited number of free silky dogwood seedlings available on a first come, first serve basis.

The seedlings are about 2-3 years old and bare-root so they are small enough and light enough for children to easily carry and plant. Planting instructions and a growth and wildlife observation record will be provided with each seedling to encourage STEM learning at home, but anyone of any age is welcome to choose a free baby silky dogwood while supplies last.

Wow! Our first delivery to the Logan Strong Foundation included 36 Ocho!!! You guys are amazing! We love seeing our community showing up and supporting others.

Want to join the cause? Our next Crochet for a Cause Ocho Class is coming up on Tuesday, 4/28, at 6:00.

Beginners and seasoned crochet artists are invited to join Thorel Mead at the library to crochet for a cause! All supplies and guided instruction provided. No crochet experience required.

During this class Thorel will teach attendees how to crochet an Ocho (a cute octopus). All created ochos will be donated, via the Logan Strong Foundation, to children undergoing treatment at the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders – part of the Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital at Albany Medical Center.

Space and supplies are limited so registration is required for this program. Give us a call at 518-283-3721 to reserve your seat.
