Renowned agricultural scientist, educator, and humanitarian, George Washington Carver was far more than just "the Peanut Man!" Born in Missouri to enslaved parents just two weeks before the Civil War ended, Carver was one of the most prominent black scientists of the 20th century. He developed farming techniques to prevent soil depletion, encouraged poor farmers to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to improve their quality of life, and was an early promoter of environmentalism.

Join us to celebrate the life and achievements of this incredible scientist!

This program is presented in collaboration with the Greenburgh, Mamaroneck, Tuckahoe, Yonkers, and White Plains Public Libraries.

Learn the basics of coding and explore your creativity through Scratch in this four-session introductory course designed for middle school students. Across four one-hour classes, participants will build interactive projects while learning core programming concepts such as sequences, conditionals, variables, and problem-solving through creative design, culminating in a final project at the end of the program. No prior coding experience is required—beginners are encouraged to join, and activities will build progressively from session to session, so attending all four classes is recommended.

It is November 10, 1938. The Zweigs, a prosperous Jewish family, are sitting down to dinner in their Breslau, Germany home. The family is about to hear some ominous news: for the past two days, hordes of N***s have been rampaging through the streets, beating Jews at random, removing them forcibly from their shops, and smashing their businesses, in an event that would come to be known as "Kristallnacht." So begins Red Snow, the true story of the Zweig family's abrupt removal from a life of security and comfort to one of uncertainty and fear.

'Red Snow' is a son's exploration of the experiences of his parents during the Holocaust and World War II. In his endeavor to understand and imagine their lives, through research, he discovers the brutality and horrors they survived and the miraculous circumstances that brought them together.

Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing.
