By Priscilla Toomey, Vice Chair, Bronxville Adult School
Apr. 22, 2015: On Tuesday evening, April 28, Jerrilynn Dodds, whose past lectures have been so enthusiastically received, returns for a talk titled "Paris from La Vie Moderne to La Belle Epoque."
The lecture will be in the Yeager Room of the Bronxville Public Library from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The period covered runs from the 1850s to World War I and was a time when intellectuals, artists, writers, and performers transformed Paris into a mecca of cultural greatness. Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Symbolism thrived. It was the time of Marie Curie, Freud, Zola, and Baudelaire. It was the period that brought Paris into the modern world.
Jerrilynn Dodds is the dean of Sarah Lawrence College and has published and lectured for many years. She has taught at Columbia University, MIT, Harvard, and The City University of New York, among others, on the subject of cultural interaction as seen through art and architecture.

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.
