Feb. 25, 2015: On Saturday, February 28, at 11:00 am, the Friends of the Bronxville Public Library will present "Looking Up: Exploring Life Beyond Motherhood," a talk and interactive session with Lauree Ostrofsky of Simply Leap, LLC.
"The first years are the toughest; then suddenly, as your children become more self-sufficient, your sense of self returns along with it," said the author and career coach.
Topics to be explored include:
Figuring out what you want to do now that your children are more self-sufficient
Learning when it's the right time for you to return to work
Exploring how to best balance intellectual fulfillment and flexibility
Taking steps toward a new career and how to use your current skills in it
Ms. Ostrofsky is the author of I’m Scared & Doing It Anyway, described as "a love poem to life" by Joselin Linder, author of The Good Girl’s Guide to Living in Sin.
Reserve your place for this free session by contacting Joann Meehan, 914-337-7680, ext. 31.

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.
