Documentary Screening: Inocente
Sunday, May 26 at 2:00 PM
2013 Oscar Award Winning Documentary Screening: Inocente with Albie Hecht, Producer and Susan MacLaury, Executive Producer Sunday, May 26 at 2:00 p.m. No Fee A personal and vibrant coming of age story about a young artist's determination never to surrender to the bleakness of her surroundings.
At 15, Inocente refuses to let her dream of becoming an artist be caged by being an undocumented immigrant forced to live homeless for the last nine years. Color is her personal revolution and its sweep on her canvases creates a world that looks nothing like her own dark past. Inocente is both a timeless story about the transformative power of art and a timely snapshot of the new face of homelessness in America: children.
The challenges are staggering, but the hope in her story proves that the hand she has been dealt does not define her, her dreams do. After the screening please join us for a question and answer session with the producers followed by a reception. Registration is required as seating is limited.
Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark
Sunday, June 2 at 3:30 PM
Lecture by Author Anthony W. Robins--No Fee
On February 1st, 1913, the brand new Grand Central Terminal opened its doors to an admiring public. On February 1st, 2013, the beautifully restored Terminal - rescued from destruction by a seminal 1978 Supreme Court decision - celebrated its Centennial, accompanied by exhibitions, events, and a new book: Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark.
The Terminal's creation combined engineering bravado (sinking two train yards below ground), technological wizardry (electrifying the trains to eliminate steam and enable their underground functioning), and real-estate savvy (replacing the original street-level train yard with 16 blocks of newly prime Midtown Manhattan real-estate, whose development paid for it all) with innovative planning (interior ramps and looping tracks) and Paris-inspired Beaux-Arts design. This illustrated lecture by Anthony W. Robins, author of the new book, brings the Terminal to life - its remarkable history, stunning architecture, and central role in creating midtown Manhattan. Copies of Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark will be available for purchase after the event. Registration requested.
This program, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the New York Council of the Humanities' Speakers in the Humanities program.

Bookletter
I have always been a fanatic reader, now particularly
of “mysteries.” And as a result of different friends
knowing of my voracious reading habit, many had the good judgment
to ask me for a recommendation of “a few books to read."
That resulted in the first “Bookletter” 13
years ago. And now through the magic of email--and the ease of “forwarding”--it
is read by about 300 people in 16 countries resulting in many new
friends around the world.

Welcome to Your Library
Looking for a warm and inviting place to curl up with a good book or magazine?
The Quogue Library has a spacious yet cozy, area for reading and research,
along with expanded
shelf space. We have managed this growth without sacrificing our small-town
charm. The Library now possesses more resources for our
patrons, along with a vast array of events and services. Aided
by the financial assistance of generous residents and supporters
who funded the renovations, and maintained by a dedicated staff
who are mostly volunteers, the Quogue Library has become a source
of pride and a symbol of community spirit for the village.
One of the most noticeable features of the facility
is a roomy computer lab. The lab provides the community
with the convenience of direct Internet access and several other
online services. Residents who are not yet computer literate
will have the opportunity to learn computer skills in computer
classes which are offered.
The enlarged Art Gallery has a new exhibit by a
local artist each month. 
Keep posted for
reception and exhibit announcements. Children will be treated
to a larger assortment of programs and events to assist them
in reaping the benefits of the library's learning environment.
Then again, people of all ages can enjoy the Quogue Library.
All in all, the residents of the Quogue area should hurry down
and be part of the community spirit that the library offers and
nurtures.
