August Activities at Troy Library

So much going on at the Troy Library in August! Hear about the many and varied activities for adults — and the importance of romance novels in keeping publishers in business — from Chloe Whittaker, Adult Programming Director. Some of the programs discussed: the ongoing Adult Reading Challenge through August 14th and related prizes; poetry reading on 8/5 (sorry for posting this so late!); Romance Book Club on 8/7; Soap making on 8/19; adult coloring evening on 8/26. And a couple special events. Learn how to make a “tree of life” pendant in adult jewelry making session with Ann Moon (8/15 at the main branch, repeated 8/22 in Lansingburgh). And on 8/29 hear the story of Russell Sage, a robber baron of the Gilded Age who was once the richest many in the U.S., from Michael Barrett, former director of the Hudson Mohawk Industrial Gateway and Burden Ironworks Museum.
