Looking for a new furry companion? The SPCA Westchester will be at the Scarsdale Public Library on Saturday, October 26 from 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM with their mobile adoption van. Stop by the week before to view the gallery of adoptable pets at the SPCA, some of whom you may get to meet at the event!
Interested in a cat companion? Visit our Kitty Party room at the event to meet and read to an adoptable cat!
Not looking to adopt but still want to support animals in need? Join library staff and volunteers for a fun crafting session where we'll be making toys, blankets, and beds for the dogs and cats of the SPCA. There will also be a button making station from our makerspace. Bring in a small photo of your pet and make a button to take home! (Buttons are 1 inch, so printed photos should have an image of your pet that can fit within that size.)
You can also drop off any unwanted towels, blankets, or flat sheets for the shelter pets! Dogs and cats will be available for same-day adoptions.

Histoury is a tour company passionate about bringing history to life with engaging storytelling and expert insights. Each tour is designed to provide a deep dive into cultural, social and architectural significance of landmarks. Visit historic home interiors on our chartered bus tour, and see and learn about many more and their histories along the way!
The 1920s in Bronxville was a period of dramatic growth. The Bronx River Parkway was completed in 1925, and estates and farms were transformed into neighborhoods with hundreds of homes. The Tudor and Mediterranean Revival styles characterized the decade's homes in lower Westchester, and many well-designed examples still grace Bronxville a hundred years later. Join us to tour a great collection of these historic homes!
This is a one-time-only event, space is limited.
The bus start/stop location will be in the Bronxville area, specific location details will be provided via email prior to the tour.

Copies of the book are available to borrow from the Library and the Libby app, and it is available for purchase from Bronx River Books.
Being a teenager has never been easy, but in recent years, with the rise of the Internet and social media, it has become exponentially more challenging. Bullying, once thought of as the province of queen bees and goons, has taken on new, complex, and insidious forms, as parents and educators know all too well.
Blending keen journalistic and narrative skills, Bazelon explores different facets of bullying through the stories of three young people who found themselves caught in the thick of it. With grace and authority, Bazelon chronicles how these kids’ predicaments escalated, to no one’s benefit, into community-wide wars. Cutting through the noise, misinformation, and sensationalism, she takes us into schools that have succeeded in reducing bullying and examines their successful strategies. The result is a groundbreaking book that will help parents, educators, and teens themselves better understand what kids are going through today and what can be done to help them through it.
