Programs & Events

October 3rd through October 31st

Paul Pugliese’s art philosophy can be summed up as “just keep doing it.” For 50 years and counting, he has always been creating. Whether it’s painting, sculpture, photography or other creative pieces, Paul always has a work in progress. A guitar player, he finds music inspiring while he works. Recently he’s been inspired by a strongly-felt connection to water, and exploring surfing themes.

Paul will be hosting an Artist Reception at the Main Library on Monday, October 3rd from 5pm until 7pm. All are welcome to attend.

Thursday, October 13th at 1:30pm - Main Library/Hybrid

Garlic and Sapphires is Ruth Reichl's riotous account of the many disguises she employs to dine anonymously. There is her stint as Molly Hollis, a frumpy blond with manicured nails and an off-beige Armani suit that Ruth takes on when reviewing Le Cirque. The result: her famous double review of the restaurant: First she ate there as Molly; and then as she was coddled and pampered on her visit there as Ruth, New York Times food critic.

We will be hosting this meeting in person and via Zoom.
