Library Notes

By Judith Wines

Peace and Quiet

By the time you read this, the summer reading club will be over and done with. Come to the Library and enjoy a little (relative) peace and quiet.

Reading Club Certificates

Did you (or one of your offspring) keep a reading record this summer? Come on in and pick it and your reading certificate up at the Library.

Fly Fishing Rods

In addition to our regular lending collection of reel fishing rods, the Library now haw two fly fishing poles. If you’d like to bring out your inner Norman Maclean, come down to the Library and borrow one. Thanks to Jim Matejka for the donation.

The Little Engine that Could

The Altamont Library will participate in Read for the Record on August 24^th at 2 p.m. We’ll be joining thousands of others as we show support for early learning, engage in the very practice that helps young children thrive, and, hopefully set a world record for the largest number of people reading a book in one. Join us for this special reading of The Little Engine that Could.

Library Joke

The Library Joke has been in receipt of comments that this summer’s pirate themed jokes are insufficiently literary in nature. Here’s an attempt to remedy the transgression: Which ancient Greek lyric poet do pirates like the best? Email your answers to winesj@uhls.lib.ny.us. Something cool to the winner…The answer to last week’s joke: What do you call a pirate that skips class? Captain Hooky!
