George Ochoa, a Dobbs Ferry resident, will do a reading from and sign copies of his new novel, Stranger Still, a thriller.

Paul Inster, a brilliant but troubled Columbia student, lives in a world of his own creation. Convinced that graduate student Tracy Iridio is his divine lover “Teresa,” Paul descends into a dangerous fantasy fueled by stolen glances and imagined connections.

When Tracy begins a relationship with classics professor Larry Post, Paul’s carefully constructed delusions start to crumble. Torn between his “goddess” and the harsh reality of her human desires, Paul spirals into a world where love and violence blur into a terrifying haze.

As Paul’s grip on reality weakens, the line between devotion and destruction blurs. Will he be able to distinguish between his fantasies and the truth before it’s too late? Or will his obsession lead to irreversible consequences for everyone involved?

The Library Board of Trustees meets on the third Wednesday of every month.

The beginning of each meeting is open to public comments.

Presented by ArtScapades

During the Harlem Renaissance of the early 20th century, the Harlem neighborhood in New York City became a Black cultural mecca and a social & artistic explosion resulted. We will look at three artists who were working at the height of this time: William H. Johnson, Romaire Bearden, and Jacob Lawrence. It was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity, and encouraged a new appreciation of folk roots and culture.

This program will be hosted by the Yonkers Public Library and is presented in collaboration with the Greenburgh, Tuckahoe, Dobbs Ferry, and Pound Ridge Libraries.

Please Note: this a Hybrid program presented via ZOOM: You can watch at home using your own device or watch it at the Will Auditorium in the Grinton I. Will branch of the Yonkers Public Library, 1500 Central Park Avenue Yonkers, NY 10710, for a public viewing. Register here!

Irish Music has been around as long as almost any genre, and is as loved today as it was centuries ago. Spend some time with us as we explore and perform this glorious art.

In the olden days in Ireland, instrumentals were written and performed on traditional instruments like the fiddle and the tin whistle. In recent times and with Irish culture making its mark in the new world, Irish American Folk Music was born. They now live in symbiosis, and this event will explore both. We’ll speak of the fascinating history of the art form, tell related personal stories, and perform some of this wonderful music.

Together, we will have a wonderful time immersed in the beauty and history of Irish musical culture. Please join us!

Sheila Noonan, singer/songwriter, was raised in a home filled with music, and that music is in her genes. She’s the daughter of renowned Irish accordionist, the late Paddy Noonan, and has been on stages both in the US and internationally since she was a young girl. Sheil continues to entertain — with her own band, as a freelance vocalist, and now, joining her colleagues Barry and Brian in bringing Irish music and its history to new audiences.

Justin Kurian will do a reading from and sign copies of his new novel, The Canticle of Ibiza.

Ibiza, Spain, 1988. Hedonistic villa parties, hidden Buddhist temples, lost marijuana farms, and outlandish artist communes.

John encounters these and more on his quest to find his estranged friend Gunther. Along the way, he meets vibrant spiritual seekers, jaded hippies, and possible love—an international DJ named Diana Clarke. He also begins to discover mystical elements to Ibiza, and to life, he never expected to encounter.

Will John find Gunther and start life anew, or will his oppressive past, and precarious present, destroy him on his quest for salvation and love?

BIO’S
CYNDY CECIL
Cyndy was giving a speech at a conference with the hopes to move people …make them feel something…to cry. They ended up laughing their butts off. Friends suggested she try stand up, so she did an open mic in a bathrobe. It bombed. Undeterred and one mic at a time, Cyndy turned chaos in comedy and now grabs every mic she can in New York City at night, while producing television and digital content for companies like Apple TV+, Nat Geo, FX, Hallmark Channel, Consumer Reports and more by day.

CARA AMORE
Cara’s material is based on her life experiences and daily happenings, as well as observations she’s made along the way. Cara’s sense of humor and charm make her a must see on the comedy circuit. Cara has performed at venues across the country and cut her teeth on the New York comedy scene at such venues as Governors Comedy Club, The Brokerage, Gotham Comedy Club and Broadway Comedy Club. Cara was a principal in the acting troupe “Improbable Players” dedicated to educating middle school aged children about alcohol and drug addiction. She was a semi-finalist in the Food Network’s “Next Food Star” and a principal player in the comedy and variety troupe The Italian Chicks. As a result of living a sober life, Cara believes her greatest accomplishment to date, is being a mom her son.
find her on IG: @Cara.Amore

NINA MOZES
Nina Mozes is a comedian, writer, and curious nerd. She has performed stories for Kevin Allison’s RISK! True Tales, Boldly Told Show & Podcast, and her solo show “I’m Just Fine” ran at multiple theaters, including The Tank, The PIT, and in various festivals. When she isn’t telling jokes or writing, she is editing educational materials, some of which might be at our very library.

Join us on Friday, March 14 at 8pm over some quality adult beverages with our friends at Climbing Wolf Craft Beer Bar, where we’ll be screening the Cult Classic The Boondock Saints (1999/Rated R/110 min/Dark Comedy, Action, Crime, Thriller)!
Climbing Wolf is located at 78 Main Street Dobbs Ferry NY, 10522 –  just north of the library – at the corner of Chestnut & Main.

summary: Tired of the crime overrunning the streets of Boston, Irish Catholic twin brothers Conner (Sean Patrick Flanery) and Murphy (Norman Reedus) are inspired by their faith to cleanse their hometown of evil with their own brand of zealous vigilante justice. As they hunt down and kill one notorious gangster after another, they become controversial folk heroes in the community. But Paul Smecker (Willem Dafoe), an eccentric FBI agent, is fast closing in on their blood-soaked trail.

Irish Music has been around as long as almost any genre, and is as loved today as it was centuries ago. Spend some time with us as we explore and perform this glorious art.

In the olden days in Ireland, instrumentals were written and performed on traditional instruments like the fiddle and the tin whistle. In recent times and with Irish culture making its mark in the new world, Irish American Folk Music was born. They now live in symbiosis, and this event will explore both. We’ll speak of the fascinating history of the art form, tell related personal stories, and perform some of this wonderful music.

Together, we will have a wonderful time immersed in the beauty and history of Irish musical culture. Please join us!

Sheila Noonan, singer/songwriter, was raised in a home filled with music, and that music is in her genes. She’s the daughter of renowned Irish accordionist, the late Paddy Noonan, and has been on stages both in the US and internationally since she was a young girl. Sheil continues to entertain — with her own band, as a freelance vocalist, and now, joining her colleagues Barry and Brian in bringing Irish music and its history to new audiences.

This month we’re reading Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood.

Copies of this book will be available for pick up at the circulation desk.

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

A forbidden, secret affair proves that all’s fair in love and science.

Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.

Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through – and he’s a man who gets what he wants. With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can’t stop thinking about. The woman who’s off-limits to him.

Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business – one that plays for keeps.
