Wednesday, September 23 at 4:30 PM & 6:00 PM
Grand Street Branch, Study Room & Program Room
One friendly face. One terrifying transformation. One unforgettable night at the library.
This month's Scary Movie Night features the 1983 film adaptation of Stephen King's Cujo, following a once-gentle Saint Bernard turned rabid after a bat bite, and the terrifying siege that traps a mother and her young son in a broken-down car on a sweltering summer day. Light refreshments will be served during the screening.
Following the film, the Horror/Thriller Book Club will convene to discuss King's original 1981 novel, a perfect companion piece that goes deeper into the dread, the small-town unraveling, and the sheer claustrophobia at its heart. Copies are available on reserve at the second floor of the Main Library, and the ebook is available through Libby. Come for the movie, stay for the discussion.

Art with Liz
Wednesdays at 10:30 AM

September brings the Mystery of Art, a special series where Liz invites students to submit their own artist suggestions for the following week's lesson. The only criteria: the artist must be well-known, and genuinely beloved by the person suggesting them.
From there, Liz builds a full introduction and slideshow about the chosen artist's life and work, then creates an original hands-on project inspired by that artist's output. Every week is a surprise shaped by the community itself.
All materials are provided, all skill levels are welcome.
Registration is required, class is available both in-person and live on Zoom and YouTube.

The Harvey Girl
by Dana Stabenow
The American West in 1890 is no place for the faint of heart, which makes Clare Wright exactly the right woman for the job.
Dana Stabenow's historical mystery sends a young Pinkerton operative undercover as a Harvey House hostess in the frontier town of Montaña Roja, where a string of robberies is the least of what is simmering beneath the surface.
Stabenow renders the Gilded Age West with atmosphere and precision, layering the social and economic tensions of a region in rapid, often violent transformation against a propulsive mystery that keeps the pages turning.

The History of Everything
by Victoria Evans
Daisy and Agnes have always been enough for each other, and then suddenly everything changes at once. A move at the end of summer. A bucket list dug up from the past. A charming drummer who starts taking up space on Daisy's calendar.
This tender graphic novel debut gets at something true and quietly devastating about best friendships, the way they can feel permanent and fragile at exactly the same time, and the way growing up has a way of testing bonds you were sure nothing could touch.
For readers who have ever loved a friendship so much that the thought of losing it felt like losing a piece of themselves.

The Night Librarian
by Christopher Lincoln
The New York Public Library has always felt a little magical, but Page and Turner are about to find out just how literally true that is.
When a dragon imprint appears on the ceiling and a giant beanstalk starts growing through the stacks, it becomes clear that the books are not just holding stories anymore, they are losing them. Villains are escaping their pages, and the whole library is in danger.
Christopher Lincoln's adventure is an absolute delight for young readers who love books, libraries, and the thrilling idea that the stories we read might just be more real than we think. Perfect for any kid who has ever wished a library could come to life.
