Upcoming Events

Come one, come all to the Warwick Children's Book Festival!  Find the Festival at Stanley-Deming Park or, in the case of rain, the Warwick Valley Middle School at 225 West Street.  The festival will feature more than 70 distinguished authors and illustrators of books for children, who will be on hand to meet families, talk with readers, and sign their books, which will be available for purchase.  The Uncle Brothers will perform a free children's concert beginning at noon.  Food trucks and a children's craft activity will round out the fun. 

This event is presented by Albert Wisner Public Library with the generous sponsorship of Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes, champions of children's literacy and longtime Library benefactors.  A portion of the festival's proceeds will benefit the Albert Wisner Public Library Foundation. 

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) Howard Hawks musical comedy stars Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe.  Showgirls Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw travel to Paris, pursued by a private detective hired by the suspicious father of Lorelei's fiancé, as well as a rich, enamored old man and many other doting admirers.   Not Rated: 1 hour 31 minutes.

Come and meet new friends and join in on a game that is played all over the world.  Mahjongg enthusiasts of all skill levels are invited to play every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. The sessions are open-ended and participants can play as many or as few games as they wish.  Players with mahjongg sets are encouraged to bring them, as the Library has only a limited number to loan. This program is free, ongoing and open to players from all communities.

Dead Poets Society (1989) Peter Weir’s coming of age drama set in 1959 stars Robin Williams, Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawke. A new English teacher, John Keating (Williams), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry (Leonard), Todd Anderson (Hawke) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day.  Tom Schulman picked up an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.  Rated PG: 2 hours 8 minutes.
