Lewisboro Library Book Group: "The Years"
2025-12-03 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
The Lewisboro Library Book Group USUALLY meets at the Library on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the group will meet instead on December 3.
This month the group will be discussing The Years, by Annie Ernaux. The Years is a personal narrative of the period 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present – even projections into the future – photos, books, songs, radio, television and decades of advertising, headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and writing notes from 6 decades of diaries.
Books are available through the Westchester Library System and copies are often ordered in advance for members to pick up at the Library. New members are always welcome in this adult, co-ed book group. For more information contact Myrna or Steve Shomstein at (914) 533-2550.

Family Fun Saturday: Author Leokadia George - "Trumpet Becomes a Mom"
2025-12-06 11:00 - 12:00
For All Ages

The saga of Trumpet the Miracle Wolf Pup continues! At the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, Trumpet and Lighthawk are now a bonded pair. As spring blooms, Trumpet’s belly grows, and soon, three tiny wolf pups arrive! Based on true events at the Wolf Conservation Center, Trumpet the Miracle Wolf Pup: Trumpet Becomes a Mom will fill your family with joy, while starting a conversation with your kids about the importance of saving endangered species.
The Storytime will be followed by a special activity led by a Wolf Conservation Center staff member. Books will be available for sale.
Author Leokadia George was volunteering at the Wolf Conservation Center when she became inspired to write a story about Trumpet. She decided to share Trumpet’s story to help dispel the “bad wolf” image and highlight conservation efforts with the milestones in Trumpet’s life. 50% of the author’ profits from the Trumpet the Miracle Wolf Pup series will be donated to wolf conservation efforts to save this species from extinction.
Trumpet gave birth to these 3 puppies on the live webcams at the Wolf Conservation Center. You can watch the family on the webcams at nywolf.org.
