Via Zoom. For Teens and their Parents.
Teens and parents won’t want to miss this 12-part series led by Anjanie Narine, author of Destination College: A Four-Year Plan for High School Students. Attend all 12 sessions, or as many as you are able. Each session will deal with a different topic. “Crafting Your Story” will cover drafting your Story (Essays, Resumes & Recommendations), and how to stand out through storytelling.
The series is intended to help high school teens establish a personalized roadmap to guide them in the college process. You’ll learn how to make the most of your four years in high school, setting yourself up for success in college and beyond. Explore the importance of striking a balance between academics and extracurricular activities, discover effective ways to cope with stress and anxiety, and uncover the secrets of securing internships, volunteer opportunities, and apprenticeships. Prepare yourself for standardized tests, conduct thorough research on colleges and universities, and gain the confidence to ace your interviews and make informed decisions.
The program is presented in partnership with: Bronxville Public Library, Greenburgh Public Library, John C. Hart Memorial Library, Lewisboro Library, Mamaroneck Public Library, Mount Kisco Public Library, New Rochelle Public Library, Ossining Public Library, Port Chester-Rye Brook Public Library, Somers Library, Warner Library, and Yonkers Public Library.

Caregivers Circle
2026-05-19 11:00 - 12:00
This monthly, one hour gathering is for those who are caring for and supporting a loved one alongside an illness or aging, or perhaps have recently lost someone. This is a time just for you, to be in community and connection with others who understand.
The gathering is led by Grief Coach and Educator, Barri Leiner Grant, Founder of The Memory Circle (www.thememorycircle.com) for grief and loss. Barri supports grievers in her work and spent ten years as a caregiver for her father Neil who lived with Alzheimer’s.
Barri encourages attendees to express their feelings and take notice of the beauty in the world through guided writing prompts. As one attendee wrote: “I was intimidated about getting my thoughts and feelings on paper, especially around caregiving. Barri put me at ease with her warmth and honesty. Through guiding prompts and poems I wrote simply and clearly about my feelings. I left with new ideas for connecting with myself and bringing clarity to the challenges I face as a caregiver. I can’t wait for the next session!”
