Screening of What Happened to Jackson Avenue: A Story of Urban Renewal
Join special guests Bill Batson and Barbara Williams on Thursday, January 30th, at 6:00 pm for a screening of What Happened to Jackson Avenue: A Story of Urban Renewal.
What Happened to Jackson Avenue offers a rare, real-life account of the human impact of Urban Renewal. Through interviews with people who experienced Nyack’s Urban Renewal first-hand, the film tells the story of how the intended revitalization ultimately resulted in the destruction of an entire community.
Bill Batson, whose family was displaced by the misguided policy, and Barbara Williams, who lived in Nyack during this time, were interviewed by the filmmakers and will participate in a discussion following the screening.
What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl was produced by Phoenix Theater Ensemble.

AROUND THE TOWN celebrates PIERMONT IN ART: Art Show of the Month
Please join us as we celebrate the inaugural issue of AROUND THE TOWN, a new community magazine that seeks a light-hearted approach to a variety of topics of interest in the Hudson Valley. Editor Marian Armstrong shares that the first issue cast a spotlight on The Hudson at Piermont, an 1852 painting by Hudson River School artist Jasper Francis Cropsey. The topic prompted a closer look at six local landscape artists who paint among us today and how they wish their work to be remembered in the next century. The artists featured in our PIERMONT IN ART show are:
Sue Barrasi
Margaret Grace
James Kimak
Dan Lukens
Grace Mitchell
Frances Wells
The show will be on display throughout the month of January. We invite you to stop by the library anytime.

Join us on Wednesday, January 15th, from 6:30 – 7:45 pm to create a fun and colorful architectural sculpture inspired by Congolese visionary artist Bodys Isek Kingelez.
