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 for the Zoom link!

Join us for a once-a-month kids’ book club!  This month we are reading Real Friends, a graphic novel by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham.

“Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen’s #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others.  Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group–or out?”

Place a hold so it’s ready to pick up when you come in! Registration is REQUIRED – please email childrens@dobbsferrylibrary.org, call (914) 693-6615 or stop by the Children’s Room to register.

At our meetings we discuss what we’ve read, compete in a related trivia contest, and do an additional activity.

Join us for a once-a-month kids’ book club!  This month we are reading Real Friends, a graphic novel by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham.

“Shannon and Adrienne have been best friends ever since they were little. But one day, Adrienne starts hanging out with Jen, the most popular girl in class and the leader of a circle of friends called The Group. Everyone in The Group wants to be Jen’s #1, and some girls would do anything to stay on top . . . even if it means bullying others.  Now every day is like a roller coaster for Shannon. Will she and Adrienne stay friends? Can she stand up for herself? And is she in The Group–or out?”

This month we will be discussing Drown by Junot Diaz; reserve a copy here. Register with reference@dobbsferrylibrary.org to get the Zoom link — please indicate the title and date of the program you are registering for!

There are ten stories; please read all ten but we will be focusing on these four: “Fiesta, 1980”, “Aguantando”, “Drown”, and “Boyfriend”.

From the beloved and award-winning author Junot Díaz, a spellbinding saga of a family’s journey through the New World. A coming-of-age story of unparalleled power, Drown introduced the world to Junot Díaz’s exhilarating talents. It also introduced an unforgettable narrator— Yunior, the haunted, brilliant young man who tracks his family’s precarious journey from the barrios of Santo Domingo to the tenements of industrial New Jersey, and their epic passage from hope to loss to something like love. Here is the soulful, unsparing book that made Díaz a literary sensation.

Junot Díaz was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Drown; The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and This Is How You Lose Her, a New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist. He is the recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, PEN/Malamud Award, Dayton Literary Peace Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, and PEN/O. Henry Award. A graduate of Rutgers College, Díaz is currently the fiction editor at Boston Review and the Rudge and Nancy Allen Professor of Writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

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.
