THROUGH NOVEMBER
PHOTO-REALISTIC DRAWINGS BY JERRY WINICK ON DISPLAY
We are excited to display a new collection of photorealistic pencil drawings by award-winning artist Jerry Winick, proprietor of Pencilworks Studio in Little Falls. Jerry's work has graced numerous private collections as well as museums in the New York metropolitan area over the years. His drawing of former president Barack Obama will have its place in the Obama Presidential Library when it officially opens next year. It is not unusual for Jerry to spend three months on a single drawing to achieve the same crisp clarity and detail of a black and white photograph. Items on display in the library community room will also be for sale.
THE NEXT CHAPTER GRIEF SUPPORT - Wednesday, November 30, at 6:30 pm

In addition to our regular meetings, the group has also hosted some other events, including a Halloween party, Friendsgiving dinner, cookie swap, and more. For more information about the group, contact Lauren Seiner at laurenroselandlibrary@gmail.com.

HOLIDAY CONCERT - Saturday, December 3, at 2 pm
Gerard and Diane Barros return to the library with a festive mix of holiday classics from the 1950s through 1980s made famous by Brenda Lee, Bruce Springsteen, The Eurythmics, Darlene Love, and others! RSVP HERE
The husband-and-wife duo have been specializing in two-part harmonies for more than 15 years. They pride themselves on their "old school" approach to performing live without pre-recorded or computerized tracks. Diane's vocals and percussion are accompanied by Gerard's harmonies as he plays right-handed keyboard, left-handed bass, and works the drum machine with his foot. Sometimes Gerard plays acoustic guitar along with Diane's hand percussion as they harmonize to many of the great hits of the past.
