Library Offers Chance to Learn About E-Readers

Sun, Dec 04, 2011

by Barbara Coger, Library Director

If you are curious about the difference between an Ipad, a Nook, and a Sony Reader, plan a visit to Hamilton Public Library sometime during the week of Dec. 12. All three devices will be available for you to handle, thanks to a loan from the Mid-York Library System.

Several people have expressed an interest in a question and answer session about the differences between these devices. We hope to schedule an informal meeting sometime during the latter part of that week.  We’ll post it on the library facebook page once it is scheduled.

The last story time for 2011 will be Tuesday, Dec.13, at 10:30 a.m. Babies and toddlers may join Barb Coger in the Story Room and older preschoolers will meet with Guest Storyteller, Diane Needham in the Community Room. Santa is scheduled to make a stop in both rooms before the half hour program is over.

Families are encouraged to use the Story Room throughout the holidays. There are books to share, puzzles and toys, games to play together, puppets for creative play, and magnetic and chalk boards to use. The room is available whenever it is not in use for tutoring or other small group meetings.

There are also exhibits in the museum and a unique collection of cats to view in the glass display cabinet.  An extensive lighted winter village scene and framed vintage Christmas newspaper pages can be seen in the Children’s Area.

Children are also invited to help the library name the newest creature in the play corner.

The library will be collecting items for the Interfaith Christmas project until Dec. 15.

The library is usually open Monday-Friday, 10 am – 7 pm, and Saturday, 10 am – 1 pm. Please call the library, (315) 824-3060, during these hours for assistance. The book drop on Broad Street is always open for your convenience. Check the library’s Facebook page for up-to-date information about programs and special events.
