ALBANY — There is plenty happening during the month of February at the Albertson Memorial Library.
February is “Blind Date with a Book” all month long at the library. The library will feature wrapped books by genre, allowing guests to check out one from a favorite category, take home their selection, unwrap it like a present and enjoy a literary adventure.
February’s Preschool Story Time will be all about “Things that Go”. Enjoy stories and crafts every Tuesday at 10 a.m. with Children’s Programming Specialist Miss Laura. This month’s stories will rev up your curiosity, pump up your heart rate, and deliver a full-on truckload of fun.
The Albany Joint Library Board Meeting will be held at the library on Feb. 4 at 6:30 p.m. This meeting is open to the public.
Join Craft Night with Diane, Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. to make “Personalized Glass Gem Magnets”. Bring a picture to the library to have copied and reduced, at no charge, for the craft. No photo? No worries — the library has an abundance of images to choose from.
Ready to roll the dice? Join Feb. 15 at 3 p.m. for an epic adventure in a one-shot Dungeons and Dragons game.
Swing by on Feb. 21 from 6-7:30 p.m. for Creative Capers, the ultimate adult craft bash. Bring an in-progress craft working and join the crafting party for some chit-chat and mouth-watering snacks.
Monthly book club, All Booked Up, will be held Feb. 24 at 6:30 p.m. This month the club will be discussing “This Tender Land” by William Kent Krueger, the unforgettable story of four orphans who travel the Mississippi River on a life-changing odyssey during the Great Depression.
Whether a word wizard or just starting out, everyone’s invited to join the Sugar River Writers on Feb. 27 at 6:30 p.m. Share and be inspired while they are working on their writing projects.
