Transcript of WINTER NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2016 FEBRUARY 2017 …
LIBRARIANS ON THE MOVE Librarians Chryssa Golding and Martha DiVittorio were invited to speak about Bellmore’s history at September’s open meeting of the Knights of Columbus. Their PowerPoint slides featured images of postcards, photographs, and documents from the collection of the Bellmore Historical Association which is curated by and housed at the Bellmore Memorial Library. What started as a straightforward presentation turned into a lively discussion, with enthusiastic members of the audience sharing their recollections and providing useful background information for the local history librarians. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. If you are interested in hosting a local history presentation, please contact Martha or Chryssa at the library. Did you know that your library card gives you access to MoMA and many other museums? On your next trip to the city, reserve the MoMA pass, pick it up at the library before you go and view some of the many famous works held at the Museum of Modern Art, including Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans, and Lichtenstein’s Girl with Ball. Is there a week coming up when the kids are off from school? Check out the schedule for the Long Island Children’s Museum to see when you can reserve free passes for your family! We have many more museums to choose from! Go to our website
at www.bellmorelibrary.org and click on the Museum Passes tab, then click on the Museum Key icon at the top of the page. Follow the prompts to complete your reservation. If you have any questions or need assistance with placing a reservation, call the library at 785-2990 and ask for the Help Desk.
COMING SOON... What was the last movie to win best picture, best actor, best actress, best screen play, and best director? Where did Rick hide the letters of transport in Casablanca? What color do the Plastics wear on Wednesdays in Mean Girls? If you are shouting the answers right now, come to
Movie Trivia on February 15th at 7:00pm! We'll
have 6 rounds of various movie questions to help
you show off your prowess. With up to 7 players
to a team, you have the chance to bring friends
with diverse knowledge and claim the top prize.
