Nov. 8, 2023: Did you know that the Bronxville Field Hockey team paints the shed every year?
According to Bronxville Field Hockey coach, Jacquelyn Frawley, this tradition started over 20 years ago. At that time, there was a shed near Hayes field, which was used to store field hockey equipment in the fall. Every year, the team would paint the team member names on the front of the shed.
Then in 2017, the grass field was replaced with turf and the original shed was demolished. Thankfully, this didn't stop the tradition. Instead, with approval from the athletic and facilities departments, the team continued this tradition by painting a different shed near the Chambers Field scoreboard. 
Over the years, painting the shed became a homecoming tradition not only for the team but also for the parents who set a time to prime the shed the week before homecoming.
Also, over the years, the tradition evolved from painting the team member names on the shed to "themed sheds." According to team captain, Frannie Krause, the captains normally pick a theme and surprise the team the day of the painting. She said that she loves the tradition because she remembers walking past the shed when she was young and dreaming of painting it one day. When the day finally came, she and the team were so happy that they were "finally there."

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.
