Tonight we will be writing/decorating letters and making Paracord Lanyards to send to Operation Gratitude to include in their Care Packages.

Community Safety Series: Stop the Bleed
2023-08-15 19:00 - 20:30
For Adults and Teens ages 15 and older.

Accidents happen in an instant, and getting help for the wounded in a timely manner is critical. STOP THE BLEED is the result of a collaborative effort led by the American College of Surgeons Committee to bring knowledge of bleeding control to the public, essentially to train bystanders to take life-saving action if needed until professional help arrives. The skills you learn in this 90 minute class can help save a life!

The Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps (LVAC) is sponsoring and leading this class, which will instruct community members in the proper methods to control active bleeding in an emergency situation using tourniquets, applying direct pressure and wound packing.

This class is part of a Community Safety Series coordinated by the Lewisboro Library, LVAC, and the Town’s Emergency Management Committee. Additional safety workshops will be offered in the fall.

Space is limited; please register below.

Author Talk: Fiona Davis - "The Spectacular"
2023-08-06 15:00 - 16:30
We are thrilled to welcome back New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis, to talk about her latest novel The Spectacular. Fiona has written six historical fiction novels, set in iconic New York City landmarks, which showcase the stories behind the famous buildings at key moments in history through the eyes of female characters. Her previous bestsellers include The Lions of Fifth Avenue, set at the New York Public Library, and The Magnolia Palace set at the Frick Collection.
In The Spectacular, Fiona Davis invites readers behind the shimmering gold curtain of one of the most famous stages in the world, Radio City Music Hall, as a talented young dancer in the 1950s defies society’s (and her family’s) expectations when she joins the glamorous precision-dancing troupe, the Rockettes. At the same time, a mysterious madman is terrorizing New York City by leaving explosives in some of the Big Apple’s busiest locations; Radio City among them.
Fiona’s talk will be followed by a book signing. Our thanks to Ridgefield’s Books on the Common, which will be providing books for sale at this event.
