Friends of BPL Present: Clear Path For Veterans

10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 18

Pumpkin Fun

10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 19

For ages 3 to 5. Seasonal stories and crafts just in time for Halloween. Registration is required; (315) 635-5631.

Author Meet & Greet

Noon Saturday, Oct. 20

Spend a cool fall afternoon with local authors at our third annual Authors’ Meet & Greet. Find out what authors do when they are not writing (and perhaps where they get their inspiration) during a panel discussion at noon (with an audience Q&A session), followed by an informal Meet & Greet. 

 Get to know the authors in one-on-one chats, buy a book or two (get them signed — they make great holiday gifts) and enjoy refreshments.
