Annual Reports to the Community

Join us as we paint Sugar Skull pumpkins infused with the color and heritage of the Mexican el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead.) Traditionally celebrated at midnight on October 31st, el Dia de los Muertos brings family and friends together to remember loved ones who have passed on. We will discuss the Mexican tradition that goes back some 3,000 years and incorporate the traditional elements into our pumpkin decor.

Pumpkin and supply kit will be available for pick up at the library one week before the event. Event will take place on Zoom. Limit one pumpkin and set per household.

FREE, ages 10 and older. Space is limited to 10 participants. Advance registration is required by Wednesday, 10/14:

In this time of continued separation, we look to stories that can unite, ignite, and illuminate. The Fisher Center and the Bard College Written Arts Program are inviting our community, on- and off-campus, to join a “read-in” and subsequent conversation centered on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ayad Akhtar’s new novel.

Bard’s Director of Written Arts and MacArthur Fellow Dinaw Mengestu moderates a conversation with Akhtar, followed by a Q&A with the virtual audience.

Purchase your copy of Homeland Elegies from Oblong Books & Music via this link, and 10% of your purchase will come back to the Fisher Center to support our virtual programming.

Join library staff on the last Tuesday of the month for some informal, fun conversation – we’ll talk books, movies, TV, what’s going on in the village and locally, etc. If you have any questions about anything at all, we'll try and help find you an answer. Let’s learn about each other and have a laugh or two! Grab a cup of joe (or tea, or whatever), get comfortable in your favorite chair and log in!

Note: We're going to keep politics out of the conversation, and we will expect all participants to be civil and respectful of one another.
