Pictures from the Bob Cyphers program last night at the library. I believe he is going to other libraries in the area. If you missed this event, try to catch one of his programs at these libraries. The library owns both of his books (they are currently checked out) and they can be placed on hold.

Last night we were honored to host Dr. William Gingold, a holocaust survivor, at the library for a special program about the Gingold family. This was a very powerful program and he's a wonderful speaker.
