Events

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.

Stay after for our always fun Film Discussion & Trivia!

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.

This month we’re reading The Memory Police by Yoko Okagawa. Get the book at the Library!

Register with sbramble@dobbsferrylibrary.org to get the Zoom link — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for.

“On an unnamed island, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses… Most of the inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few able to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. When a young writer discovers that her editor is in danger, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards, and together they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past. Powerful and provocative, The Memory Police is a stunning novel about the trauma of loss.”

This month, we will be reading Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl. Get the book at the Library!

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

“GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is Ruth Reichl’s riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: first she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.

What is even more remarkable about Reichl’s spy games is that as she takes on these various disguises, she finds herself changed not just superficially, but in character as well. She gives a remarkable account of how one’s outer appearance can very much influence one’s inner character, expectations, and appetites.

As she writes, “Every restaurant is a theater . . . even the modest restaurants offer the opportunity to become someone else, at least for a little while.” GARLIC AND SAPPHIRES is a reflection on personal identity and role playing in the decadent, epicurean theaters of the restaurant world.”

This month we’re reading Twisted Games by Ana Huang.

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

To register, email sbock@dobbsferrylibrary.org!

From New York Times bestselling author and BookTok sensation Ana Huang comes a contemporary royal romance!

“Stoic, broody, and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever. He has never once been tempted to break those rules…until her. Bridget von Ascheberg. A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. She’s nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed. Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until he’s faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her. Take her. Because she’s his – His princess – His forbidden fruit – His every depraved fantasy.”
