Children read one-on-one with Buddy, a specially trained Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.) and his handler, Dobbs Ferry resident Marty Kanengiser. Children will select a book to read to Buddy before the program begins, and they will spend 10-15 minutes reading aloud. They are also welcome to ask questions about Buddy, a 12-year-old rescued black lab who loves children, other dogs, and reading.

Registration REQUIRED — email childrens@dobbsferrylibrary.org, call (914) 693-6615, or stop by the Children’s Room to sign up.

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?
