What's Happening at the Town of Ballston Community Library
Wednesday, September 1, 2021
We were so happy to have a visit from Assemblywoman Mary Beth Walsh yesterday. We appreciate her continued support of libraries!
Printed copies of the Draft of the Town of Ballston NY Comprehensive Plan are available for review at the Library or online at https://www.envisionballston.com/.
Programs in local parks:
Many of our programs this summer will take place outside in local parks. Both the Town of Ballston, and Town of Charlton have both graciously agreed to allow the Library to do programming in their parks.
**If the weather is questionable, please call the Library, or check the Library Facebook page to confirm that a program is happening as scheduled!**
Jenkins Park in the Town of Ballston, is located on Jenkins Road.
Elmer Smith Park in the Town of Charlton, is located on Crawford Drive.

Also, don't forget about the StoryWalk in Anchor Diamond Park! Anchor Diamond Park is located at 1-17 Middleline Rd, Ballston Lake 12019 (just off Route 50).

NEW - Graphic Novel Book Club
The Graphic Novel Book Club is a new book club for teens in grades 7-12. Each month we will read and discuss a different graphic novel and work on planning or creating our own graphic novel as a group project.
For the month of September we will be reading "Amulet, Book 1: The Stonekeeper" by Kazu Kibuishi.
This book club will be held on Zoom and a link will be sent a day prior to the book club meeting online. Copies of the graphic novel will be held at the Circulation desk and can be checked out.
Please contact Miss Alyssa if you have any questions!
