Jul. 9, 2014: The Bronxville Adult School (BAS) announces its new co-chairs for 2014-2015, Marlissa Westerfield and Bob Shearer. Both bring many years of experience serving on the board to their leadership roles.
This marks the 71st year that the Bronxville Adult School has been in operation. "I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing chair, Chris Zufelt, for the many years and countless hours of dedicated service she has given to BAS," said Celia Cuce, executive director of the Bronxville Adult School. "Chris will join our esteemed advisory board of former chairs," she added, "who continue to contribute their wisdom and expertise to help bring out the best that BAS has to offer."
The BAS staff is already working hard to provide an interesting schedule of classes, lectures, and trips for the fall.
Returning to the schedule of offerings are the perennial favorites of fitness, art, languages, and bridge, but there will be some new offerings that the board is excited about, including American Sign Language, Interior Design, Astrology, Photoshop, Needlepoint, and eBay, to name just a few.
Save the date for a trip to the 9/11 Memorial Museum on Monday, September 15.
The fall/winter catalogue will arrive in the mail the first week of August. Online registration goes live on August 4.

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.
