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

The beginning of each meeting is open to public comments.

»

You are invited to attend a special event hosted by local storyteller David Neilsen to announce a very big change to the face of the Library.

But the event is rudely interrupted by murder!

Everyone who attends is assigned a character, everyone is a suspect, and one lucky guest will be the actual murderer! Solve puzzles and complete goals to earn clues and dive deep into the mystery behind the unfortunate corpse. Can you catch the killer before the night is out? Or will they live to strike again?

Local storyteller David Neilsen, whose murder mystery events have graced the halls of places like Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Hudson River Museum, brings his unique form of mayhem and mystery to Dobbs Ferry Public Library for this one-of-a-kind event!

Tickets are $40 and are limited, so get yours today! Guests will receive their assigned character a few days ahead of the event, so they can come in costume if they so desire. This is an evening to go all out, get out of your comfort zone, and put on your best performance!

TRUST NO ONE!

Proceeds support the Friends of the Dobbs Ferry Library. Get your tickets here!

Join us on Friday, June 12th, 2026 at 8pm, as we screen our 118th cult classic: Troll 2 (1990/PG-13/95 min/B-Horror, Dark Fantasy, Folk Humor)

summary: A vacationing family discovers that the entire town of Nilbog (goblin spelled backwards) that they’re visiting is inhabited by goblins, disguised as humans, who plan to eat them.

Despite its original title Goblins, American distributors marketed it as a sequel to the 1986 horror film Troll, despite it not actually featuring trolls. With head-sratching decisions such as its title, Producer Joe D’Amato’s low-budget approach to filmmaking, and a sizeable language barrier between an Italian-speaking cast and English-speaking crew, what resulted is an effort that has subsequently become regarded as one of the goofiest “so bad it’s good” films of all time.

Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.

This month, we will be reading Twice by Mitch Albom. Get the book at the Library!

Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

When he is eight years old, Alfie Logan discovers the magical ability to get a second chance at everything. He can undo any moment and live it again. The one catch: he must accept the consequences of his second try—for better or worse.

He grows up correcting his mistakes and saving himself from adolescent embarrassments. He even takes foolishly dangerous risks, just to see what it’s like to come close to death, before tapping back to safety.

Eventually, Alfie turns his gift to his love life, studying his crushes and going back to make himself more appealing. In time, he falls deeply in love with Gianna, the woman he believes is the one. He seems to find contentment.

But as the years pass, Alfie’s eye begins to wander. Which is when he learns a lone caveat to his power: once he undoes a love, that person can never fall in love with him again. Knowing if he gives into to temptation, he will risk losing what he has with Gianna, Alfie makes a choice that changes his life forever.

The book begins many years later, after an ailing Alfie is arrested for allegedly cheating and winning millions at a casino roulette wheel. As a curious detective interrogates him, he slowly uncovers Alfie’s incredible story, and its most unlikely conclusion.

This month we’re reading Ladies in Hating by Alexandra Vasti.

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

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

Celebrated authoress Lady Georgiana Cleeve has achieved fame and fortune. Unfortunately, she’s also acquired an enemy: the enigmatic Lady Darling, whose spine-tingling plots appear to be pulled straight from Georgiana’s own manuscripts. What’s a stubborn, steely writer to do? Unmask her rival, of course.

But unmasking doesn’t go according to plan—because Lady Darling is actually Cat Lacey, the butler’s daughter and object of Georgiana’s very secret, very embarrassing teenage infatuation. Cat Lacey has spent a decade clawing her family out of poverty. The last thing she needs is to be distracted by the stunning(ly pretentious) Lady Georgiana Cleeve. But Cat can’t seem to escape her infuriatingly beautiful rival—including at the eerie manor where they both plan to set their next books.

The plot unexpectedly thickens, however, when the novelists find themselves trapped in the manor together. In between ghostly moans and spectral staff, Cat and Georgiana come face-to-face with real danger: the scorching passion that’s been haunting their rivalry all along.
