Join us for a fun, relaxing, and creative series of art classes taught by Alexis Starke!  We will explore a range of materials and techniques and draw inspiration from a variety of sources from contemporary artists, art history, science, and the natural world.  For our first project we will create imaginary landscapes inspired by contemporary American artist Shara Hughes. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Hughes lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and later attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She describes her lush, vibrantly chromatic images of hills, rivers, trees and shorelines, often framed by abstract patterning, as “invented landscapes. All  materials are provided.  Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions. Registration through our website events page.

Join us from 12pm-2pm, on Sunday, September 26th, outside the library for a celebration of our 125th birthday! Bring a picnic to enjoy and listen to some live music! Birthday cake will be served.
This event is also a celebration of our our oral history project, Piermont Remembers, and we hope you will take some time that day and in the future to enjoy some of the many personal stories of Piermont community members that we have archived.

Join us for our lively Adult Book Discussion Group on Wednesday, September 22nd from 3:00 – 4:00 pm. We had to postpone our August meeting, so for September, we are reading the 1943 classic, A tree Grows in Brooklyn, by Betty Smith. We meet outside at the gazebo by the river. Please register in case of bad weather so we can send you the Zoom link. New members are always welcome! Details and registration on our events page.

We are currently offering two outdoor story times on Monday with Ms. Nancy and Ms. Judy, one at 11:00 am and one at 2:00 pm.

Children up to 3 years old with caregiver may come and join us for stories, songs, and fingerplays. Until further notice, we will be meeting in Parelli Park. Please bring something to sit on.

Today, on the twentieth anniversary, we remember.

We remember the thousands of brave rescue workers and civilians who perished as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.  We remember those who selflessly gave their lives while desperately trying to save the lives of others.  They are heroes who will not be forgotten.  

We remember beloved fallen firefighter Dennis P. McHugh (Engine 22 Ladder 13) for whom our library is named. The generosity of the Dennis P. McHugh Foundation enabled the construction of the Library’s beautiful building overlooking Flywheel Park and the Hudson River, a symbol of the collective spirit and positive power of community strength to overcome adversity. His memory and legacy are with us always.  

the American spirit will prevail over this tragedy
