NEW DISPLAY As maple sugaring season winds down, come see a collection of vintage maple syrup containers on display at the library. The display includes facts about the sugaring process, a guide to maple syrup grade, and some delicious recipes, along with a few books you can check out from the library. It will be up for the next month. If you have a collection you’d like to share with the community, call the library to find out how to set up a temporary showing.
NEW TREES
The Garden Club and the Tree Commission planted ten trees and added three benches to Library Park last week. Stop by to see them today, or wait until the weather is a bit more agreeable. While it seems like summer is far away, these new additions will be around for us to enjoy through many warm seasons to come.
BUILDING UPDATES
The ramp on the western side of the building had to be removed for safety reasons, and the front stairs are currently the only way into the library. We are entering the final phase of arranging for a replacement, and we ask your forgiveness and your patience. If you cannot enter the building because of this, please contact us and we will try to make arrangements to renew or check out books for you.
COMPUTER HELP
Need help writing letters on the computer, navigating the internet, or using your new eReader? Drop in during our open hours and get personalized help. Upcoming sessions are tonight from 6 – 7, this Saturday from 11 – 12, and next Tuesday from 6 – 7.
MUSIC AND MOVEMENT
Toddlers are invited to shake out their sillies every Tuesday at 10 AM. We’ll have music in the air, instruments to play along, parachutes to hide under, and more. Meet other area families and come dance with us!
STORY TIME
Every Wednesday at 10:30 AM we share a picture book (or two) and do a simple craft. This week’s theme is a surprise. All children ages 3 – 6 are welcome.
JUST ARRIVED
For history buffs, we’ve added two books about the Revolutionary War: Fighting Over the Founders and Liberty’s First Crisis. You can learn about plants in The Triumph of Seeds, or money in Coined. Feeling brave? Check out The Mystery Writers of America Cookbook – we’re pretty sure you can’t be poisoned if you make the food yourself. If you’ve never heard of a quatrefoil or a curvilinear triangle, don’t worry – just read Have You Seen My Monster? with your child, and you’ll both know more about some unusual shapes. Older children can pick up Shivers!: The Pirate Who’s Afraid of Everything to read for themselves. Lastly, in the teen section, we have many new selections. Read about two girls in prison and one on her way to Juilliard and how their stories intertwine in The Walls Around Us. For a touch of something supernatural, R.L. Stine brings back Fear Street with Don’t Stay Up Late. Stop in to check out these and more, and visit our website for more details (and free eBooks.)
We welcome your QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, PURCHASE REQUESTS, AND PROGRAMMING IDEAS. Contact us at 312 Washington Street, [email protected], 393-4325, or any of our social media sites (you can do a search for Ogdensburg Public Library, or find the links on our website at ogdlib.org/social.)
