Library Restarts Story Hours; Banned Books to be Read

Fri, Sep 16, 2011

 by Barbara Coger, Library Director

Story time at Hamilton Public Library begins again on Tuesday, at 10:30 a.m.  All ages of preschoolers are welcome. Babies and toddlers will share finger plays, rhymes, and simple stories in the Story Room with Barb Coger. A guest storyteller will
share stories and book related activities with the older children in the Community Room at the same time.

Charlotte Blanchard's colorful oil paintings have been replaced by equally colorful self-portraits, rain sticks, and weavings created by the children who participated in the MultiArts Summer Camp of Hamilton Center for the Arts . There will be a reception in the young artists' honor on Thursday, 6:30 p.m. The reception will be held in the children's area of the library.

Banned Book Week is fast approaching and the library and the Colgate Bookstore will once again host an evening of banned and challenged book readings. This event will be held in the Library's Community Room on Monday, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Both the Colgate Bookstore and the library are also offering the community a chance to share their favorite excerpts from banned or challenged books on YouTube! For more information, please call the Colgate Bookstore, 228- 6944 or the library,  824-3060.

Now that our summer reading program is over, those who generously loaned the library clothing and mementos from around the world may now pick up their belongings. These items were much appreciated and enriched our summer theme, "One World, Many Stories".

The library is 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.
