Book Discussions on Tap this Week
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Critics' Circle. Tuesday 7:00 PM, Dayton Program Room.
The Soloist by Mark Salzman. Renne Sundheimer is a
one-time cello prodigy, who feels his gift has deserted him. His
life is transformed by two disparate events: being selected for
a jury in a murder trail for the killing of a Buddhist monk and
becoming the teacher of a 9-year old cellist, whose talent may
well surpass his own. The author grew up in Ridgefield and
will be speaking at the Library at 1:30 on Sunday, April 27th
as part of the
Ridgefield Writes author festival.
Poetry Discussion Group. Friday 1:00 - 2:45 PM, Dayton Program Room. With poet and retired professor Alan Holder. This month's selection: The Poems of Philip Larkin. A limited of number of free copies is available for participants at the Circulation Desk, courtesy of the Friends of the Library. |

Did You Know...?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In honor of the town's 300th celebration, we will be
featuring each week a tidbit of information about the past,
present and future of the Library.
The Library's first public access computers with Internet capability went online in 1997 and quickly become a destination of choice for patrons. Today, the Library offers 26 workstations with Internet access for public use and logs over 2,000 computer sessions each month. Color printers, high-speed connections, bigger monitors and the availability of professional assistance from librarians and IT staff attract even those Ridgefielders with computers in their homes.
