    Join us for needle felting at the library on Tuesday, October 28th at 6:00 pm. Needle felting is a craft that uses specially designed notched needles to sculpt wool into shapes and designs. The notches on the needles tangle the wool fibers, causing them to interlock and form firm structures. This versatile craft allows you to create anything from simple 2D flat pieces to intricate 3D sculptures. Michele will guide us through the process of creating cute little ghosts! All supplies and instruction are provided. If you have crafted with us before, feel free to bring supplies. This event is free, but space is limited; call the library at (518) 668-2528 to register.

    We are excited to welcome Dan Berggren to the library for a bit of storytelling and music on Thursday, October 30th at 6:30 pm. Dan Berggren is a tradition-based songsmith who writes with honesty, humor and a strong sense of place. His songs explore the many dimensions of home, hard working folks, taking care of our planet and each other. Dan’s roots are firmly in the Adirondacks where he was raised on land that had been in the family for five generations, but his music has branched out across many borders. For over 50 years he has entertained U.S. audiences from New York to Minnesota and Texas, and overseas in Europe and Central Africa.
    The award-winning musician and educator held various jobs before devoting his life to music full-time: working in the woods with a forest ranger and surveyor; radio producer, writer and announcer for the American Forces Network Europe;and professor of audio and radio studies at SUNY Fredonia. Dan is currently co-hosting Folk Club Kids, a weekly live and live-streamed program for pre-schoolers at Caffe Lena, and owns Sleeping Giant Records which has produced over twenty albums of original and traditional folk music. We hope you will join us in welcoming Dan to the library. Space is limited, please call the library at (518) 668-2528 to register.
