Canine Story Time
Dec 113:30 pm -
4:30 pm
Join Lisa and her furry friend Freckle from The Good Dog Foundation for a special kind of Story Time. This time, it won’t be adults reading to kids: it will be kids reading to dogs! Young readers ages six and up can sign up for 10-minute sessions, during which they will be able to read to Freckle, Lisa’s adorable canine companion. This will give kids a safe space to become comfortable reading out loud.
To reserve a spot, join us at the Library on the day of the program, and see the librarian at the reference desk to sign up for your 10-minute session. We will start accepting reservations at 3 pm (not earlier!). First come, first served.

Pelham Memorial High School students will be available to provide children in grades K-6 with help completing their homework. Participants should bring their own study materials. This is a drop-in program. First come, first served.
Teen Talk with Hope's Door
Dec 115:00 pm -
6:00 pm
This fall, the Library will host a Teen Talk from Hope’s Door, to raise awareness about teen dating violence. This program is specifically for teens ages 13-18.
Hope’s Door is a non-profit that seeks to end domestic violence and to empower victims to achieve safety, independence, and healing from the trauma of abuse. We will dive into information about teen dating violence, visit popular “toxic” celebrity relationships, and discuss Netflix dramas and documentaries depicting domestic violence. Join us for conversations about the things we see and experience, and to learn how we can become advocates for ourselves and each other.
This is a drop-in program and registration is not required.
Party Hearty in the Middle Ages
Dec 117:00 pm -
8:30 pm
Get in a festive mood by joining us for this entertaining online event!
Despite sometimes being referred to as the Dark Ages, during the Middle Ages people often enjoyed good times, especially at the table. Through art and archaeology, learn about medieval foods and their preparation (including a recipe for roast unicorn!) as well as the rules and ceremonies under which these sumptuous foods were presented, and the types of entertainment guests might enjoy. Works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met’s Cloisters Museum will highlight this talk.
Presenter Mike Norris has a Ph.D. in Art History from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He spent twenty years at the Cloisters Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and has lectured on trips all over the world. He lives in Teaneck, New Jersey.
This program takes place on Zoom and registration is required. Click here to register.
