Our Adult Book Club meets once a month to have a lively discussion about a new book.  Members work together to pick a variety of books and new members are always welcome!  Please call or email the library to be added to our email list (info@piermontlibrary.org). 

Adult Book Club is currently meeting on the third Wednesday of the month at 3:00 pm unless otherwise stated.  For October, we are reading By Her Own Design by Piper Huguley.

Join us on Tuesday, October 14th, from 5:00 – 6:00 pm OR on Thursday, October 16th, from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm for Learning Libby: How to Borrow Digital Books from Your Library. This will be a hands-on presentation on how to borrow eBooks and eAudiobooks using the Libby app.

Do you have a library card? Then you already have access to our catalog of thousands of downloadable books and audiobooks! You are invited to bring in your portable device (iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle, etc) to get set up for borrowing during the workshop. We will also demonstrate how to read/listen to digital books on a computer browser.

Registration is required to attend. Please follow the link for our website events calendar https://southorangetownlibraries.librarycalendar.com/…

(Please note that multiple sessions of this class are being offered. Each session will present duplicate information- you only need to attend one!)

We invite you to stop by anytime we are open to see our beautiful Art Show of the Month- Julie Cahn: Our River, My Muse: Recent Paintings and Photos from the Shores of The Sparkill Creek, The Hudson River and The Mighty Atlantic Ocean they Flow Into. The show will be on display throughout the month of October.

Julie Cahn

I have taken many, many photographs of beautiful natural scenes in various locations over the course of my adult life, but never before have I taken so many pictures of the same place as I have of the Creek and River just footsteps beyond my front door. When I challenged myself seven years ago to try painting for the first time, all my paintings were also of the Creek and River. Some of those earliest paintings can be found in this exhibit. 

It’s not that I am lazy or don’t get around. On the contrary, I am always on the move, a novelty seeker in search of the next most beautiful location or natural phenomena. 

It’s just something about the ever-changing shapes and colors and tones of the water and the fluid sky above that has entranced me to such an extent that I have come to observe more fine details in the moving image before me than I have ever stopped to notice before. 

The eighteen paintings and twenty-one photographs on exhibit here for the month of October are a small example of the thousands of different but no less beautiful moments I have captured along the shores of the Hudson River and Atlantic Ocean.

Our river and this estuary are truly my muse, as is the ocean that draws them in and sends them back out with the force of our rotating earth twice daily, every day, now and forever. 

New Program Alert! Join us from 5:00 – 6:00 pm for FUN with LEGO with Ms. Nancy.  Build some LEGO masterpieces and enjoy some snacks. Ages 5 – 11 recommended.
