Join us for an evening with Leah Eskin, author of the historical novel “Like Wafers in Honey.” Based on the experiences of a real Italian-Jewish cook named Edda Servi Machlin, the novel tells two stories: that of Stella, a Jewish girl from the Tuscan town of Pitigliano, and that of Edda, a Westchester housewife trying to save a lost treasure—Italian Jewish cuisine. Registration encouraged.

From colonial times on, libraries have been preferred gathering locations for American communities. Moreover, libraries have been showcases of architectural style. Glencoe architect Joseph Madda will delve into the history of libraries and how the physical buildings have evolved as their role in American society changed. Registration encouraged.

Have a houseplant that’s overgrown its space or a few too many tomato seedlings to fit in your garden bed? Bring your spares to the library’s plant swap and exchange them for something new to brighten your home or spice up your garden! Potted plants or plant cuttings are both welcome, but please only bring containers that you are willing to part with. Registration encouraged.
