Oct. 25, 2023: The Bronxville Senior Citizens presented an excellent art show and lecture at the Bronxville Public Library on Sunday, October 22nd. 
 
The program was titled the "Mary G. Turino Art Show & Lecture" in honor of long-time Bronxville resident Mary Turino, who passed away in 2017. Turino was a doer and community leader in Bronxville and, among her many accomplishments, was founding the Bronxville Senior Citizens Counsel.
 
The excellent speaker at the event was Kendal Henry, an artist and curator living in New York City and specializing in public art for over 30 years. Kendal has initiated many projects and programs in the United States and internationally and is a testament to public art being a tool for social engagement, civic pride, and economic development.

Bronxville Public Library
Bronxville Public Library

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.

The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.

The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
