In this virtual presentation, art historian and lecturer Dr. Michael Norris will discuss how a Turkish bishop first evolved into one of Christianity’s most beloved saints and then into Santa Claus. This program is a collaboration between The Field Library, Putnam Valley Library, Tompkins Corners Cultural Center, and Tomkins Cove Public Library.

This Fall we will explore some hands-on science experiments with our “Take and Make” projects. The supplies you need for these projects will be available in a to-go bag your family can conveniently pick up at the library. Sign up with the calendar link to receive updates about Project pick-up information and to receive a video link for instructions and associated books.

The Stone Ridge Library Knitters meet every Saturday morning from 10am – 12noon. All ages and experience levels can join us and drop-in knitters are also welcome. We each bring our own supplies and do our own work, but one of the best things about us is that whatever obstacle or confusion you might encounter, you’re likely to receive as much comment and advice as you need to get where you’re going with a project.
