Hamilton Public Library News
By Hilary Virgil, Library Director
(Hamilton, NY – March 2015) The Hamilton Public Library and Hamilton Village Real Estate are the proud sponsors of the second annual Peeps Diorama Contest.
Looking for something fun to do while your kids are on break from school or a fun book club activity with your friends? You’re invited to decorate a peeps diorama to look like your favorite scene from a book. All ages are welcome to participate.
Please stop by the library, or visit our website for contest rules. Dioramas should be brought to the Hamilton Public Library during regular library hours between Saturday, March 28 and Saturday, April 4. They will remain on display the following week for the public to have an opportunity to vote for “people’s choice awards.” All dioramas and accessories should be picked up before the library closes on Saturday, April 18.
Curious about the 2015 Caldecott and Newbery books? Join us for our very first Caldecott-Newbery Tea on Saturday, April 18th at 2pm! Come enjoy a cup of tea and refreshments, while you thumb through these latest award winners and honor books, and listen as local book lovers share a bit about them. What could be better than spending an afternoon sipping tea and chatting about good books with friends! For our planning purposes, please call or stop by the library to register for this event.
