The fall semester begins with a free community lecture on Monday, September 17, Happiness is a Choice You Make, co-sponsored by Concordia College Books & Coffee. New York Times award-winning author John Leland will discuss his wise and insightful book about the secrets to living a fuller, more contented life. On Wednesday, September 26, The Road to Happiness workshop will further explore how to find lasting and intrinsic happiness in life.

The Bronxville Adult School’s fall semester also offers lots of fun and games to help you to enjoy life, including fantasy football, bridge, MahJongg, pickleball, and squash, among many others. Dancing is another great way to have a good time, and you can choose from county line dancing, belly dancing, Irish ceili, tap, ballet, ballroom, salsa, and bachata. If you are looking for ways to relax and unwind, give yoga, mindfulness, or fitness classes a try. Or tap into your creative self with drawing, painting, memoir, and improv classes.

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.
