Mar. 4, 2015: "Variety's the very spice of life,/That gives it all its flavour," wrote British poet William Cowper. And we at the Bronxville Adult School strive each and every semester to augment our recurring favorites with new offerings that we hope will pique your interest.
This spring, some of these are multi-session classes, such as Circuit Training, Calligraphy for Special Occasions, Musical Forms and Innovations of the Greatest Composers, and Mah Jongg for Beginners.
However, we know that schedules are crowded with work and family responsibilities, so we would also like to highlight a number of new single-session offerings for the spring semester that would certainly warrant a well-deserved night off:
• Paris from La Vie Moderne to La Belle Epoque
• Deconstructing Craft Beer
• The Proper Care and Feeding of Your House Plants
• Psychic Reading
• Protecting Your Computer from Viruses, Malware & Other Nasty Stuff
If you're lucky enough to take a full day off, there's no better way to spend it than our day-trip to Long Island's Gold Coast mansions. If you have a friend who has never attended an Adult School class, please consider inviting him or her to join you.
In a new initiative, the Adult School is also including two offerings scheduled on weekends during the day: The Great American Song Book: An Annotated Concert Series (three Sundays at 4:00 pm) and Memoir Writing (one Saturday at 10:00 am). For those for whom weekday classes and lectures are not feasible or convenient, we hope you'll take advantage of this expanded schedule.
Apart from these new offerings, we have literally dozens of other classes scheduled in areas ranging from acrylics to Zumba, which can be found on our website, www.bronxvilleadultschool.org. You can register online or by phone at 914-793-4435.

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.
