Buddha, the library cat will be visiting for this afternoon until closing.
If you are planning a visit, please advise us if you have a cat allergy,
and we will sequester Buddha in our second floor office suite.

Our Ragdoll Cat "Buddha" is visiting from 3:30 - 5pm today
as per special request of the Ragdoll Cat Lovers Group.
He is in the Director's office if you would like to visit
with him.

NOTE: THIS EVENT IS FULL. WAITING LIST ONLY. Master Storyteller, Jonathan Kruk has regaled metro area audiences with American and British folktales for over thirty years. His venerable Legend of Sleepy Hollow at the Old Dutch Church in Tarrytown remains an annual must-see.

Now, the Friends of the Blauvelt Free Library bring this popular raconteur to our side of the river for an evening of humbug with his delightful rendition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Jim Keyes sets the musical mood on keyboard, and the 19th century ambiance of Judge Cornelius Blauvelt's homestead (aka the Blauvelt Free Library), serves as the perfect backdrop for this tale of greed, ghosts and the Yuletide redemption of a lost soul.

FREE but space is very limited and registration required

Refreshments after the show

Comedy + magic with audience participation

Registration required | Limit 30 | Community room

The late Hagop Chakrian was an Armenian-American fine artist who left hundreds of Modigliani inspired figure paintings and lithographs -- so many that they fill a warehouse. His family wants his legacy to endure and will be sharing his collection of oil paintings, watercolors and prints by offering them free to the public. Visit the Community Room between 12 - 4pm to take home an original piece of art or two.
