Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. Pre-registration is not required, materials provided. Beginners welcome. For information, call 518-642-2525.

Navigating the “Card Catalog”

catalog“Where is the card catalog?” is a frequent question here at the library. Many people are surprised that our answer is “it’s on the computer.”

It can be a challenge to figure out the catalog until you get used to it. Here are some helpful hints: http://pac.sals.edu/polaris/Help/1033/FAQSearch.htm . Our library does not handle course reserves, so that part does not apply here.
