Feb. 13, 2019: On January 26 and 27, 2019, 150 third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders made the stage come alive with the musical Lion King...Prideland. The show was written and directed by Leisha Horin, owner of New York Rhythm Kids (NYRKS), a children's theater company.

From costumes to makeup, funny and sad lines, ballads and upbeat tunes, the children's radiant faces reflected the joy that they expressed during the rehearsals and performances.

Below are some great photographs from the performances.

Books & Culture: 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.
