Wednesday is this month's technology class, All About iPads, with Michael Daly at 5:30pm. 

Thursday morning at 10:30am is pre-school storytime.  The Knitting Club will meet from 4-6pm.  And from 4-7pm at Myers Park Gloversville READS! 2013 will host a pet adoption day with the James A. Brennan Humane Society and the Regional Animal Shelter.  Raindate of 4/25. 

Friday is Bibliomaniacs, the teen group, from 4:30-6pm.

And Saturday!!!!!  We'll be hosting Following Atticus author Tom Ryan with Atticus and Will.  This program will take place at SkyHeart Place, NOT at the Library, at 4:30pm.  He will give a talk following by a reception and book signing.  Reservations are required as seating is limited.  Go to the Calendar here and use the registration button.
