PARENTAL SUPERVISION REQUIRED. Some of our sensory bins include small pieces, which are great for sensory play, but mean you'll want to keep a close eye on your little ones!

Adult Book Discussion Group: The Last Days of Night2020-01-20T13:30:00Join us for our first meeting of this new book discussion! January's book is "The Last Days of Night" by Graham Moore. Books can be picked up at the circulation desk ahead of time.
"New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country?
The case affords Paul entry to the heady world of high society—the glittering parties in Gramercy Park mansions, and the more insidious dealings done behind closed doors. The task facing him is beyond daunting. Edison is a wily, dangerous opponent with vast resources at his disposal—private spies, newspaper...

Evening Adult Book Discussion: Educated by Tara Westover2020-01-22T18:30:00Join us for a monthly book discussion! Books can be picked up at the circulation desk ahead of time, and all are welcome! January's book is "Educated" by Tara Westover.
"Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home."

Books to Film Discussion Group: "Ashes in the Snow" based on the book "Between Shades of Gray"2020-01-27T18:00:00Ages 18 & up. Explore books made into movies and discuss what they did right and what they did wrong. Pick up the book and read in advance of our meeting. We will watch the film together and discuss afterwards. Snacks will be provided. No registration required.
Between Shades of Gray: Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they've known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin's orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.
