Community Calendar

Preschoolers of all ages and their caretakers are invited to join us for stories, songs and active fun in the library’s lower level Community Room.

Round up the family and head out to Coy Mountain, located at 9011 Valley St. in Alden, to enjoy a romp in the woods and reading a good book along the way.

The story is placed along a 1/2-mile portion of the trail, and trail is open daily from dawn to dusk.

The storybook for the month of October is “The Honeybee” by Kristen Hall. Sponsored by Alden District Library.

Come to Alden District Library during the month of October to enjoy a display of 3D printed creations made by Candace Flanagin of Dragoncore 3D.

The display is free to view during library hours: Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 9:30-5:00; Tue 9:30-6:00; and Sat 9:30-2:00.

Library is located at the Helena Township Community Center: 8751 Helena Road in Alden. (231)331-4318.

Come hang out with us for live music. We'll be serving wine, seasonal cocktails, cider, coffee, and tapas-style small plates to share. Bring your crew or show up solo — Dune Bird is that kind of place.

This is a free event — no reservation required. Seating is first come, first served.

Join The Dennos, Children’s Therapy Corner, Children’s Advocacy Center, TADL Youth Services, and Oryana for the fourth annual sensory-friendly Halloween event! We will have a variety of fun activities, being mindful of diverse sensory needs and accommodations to create an inclusive environment where all are welcome!  

Visitors may self-select activities they would like to participate in, with descriptive maps and communication boards provided at the entrance to the museum. Halloween activities will include pumpkin decorating, playdough creations, scratch art projects, coloring and activity pages, Discovery Gallery interactive exhibits, and a special Halloween treat scavenger hunt through the museum. The Dutmers Theater will be a designated quiet room, offering an easily accessible space to take a break.  Although the museum has made considerations for a variety of sensory needs for this event, families are encouraged to bring any accommodations that may be helpful. Questions about the event can be directed to Liz Celeste at eceleste@nmc.edu.   

Event support provided by Oryana Community Co-Op and the Linda O'Meara Fund for Arts Education.

Experience Beethoven at his most powerful and exhilarating. Symphony No. 7 surges with driving rhythms and soaring melodies — a work Wagner called “the apotheosis of the dance.” Heroic, dramatic, and irresistibly alive. Also featuring the majestic “Emperor” Piano Concerto, performed by returning favorite Sean Chen, an award-winning pianist, arranger, and composer.
