And there is a lot of activity at the library.
During the month of April we will be featuring the art created by the students at the five public elementary schools in the Baldwinsville Central School District. Please take a moment to look at the work of these talented young artists. There will be an art reception at 4 p.m. April 10.
Pysanky
1:30 p.m. Sunday, April 2
Back by popular demand, the delightful Anna Perun of Ukrainian Treasures is returning to BPL! She will teach a three-hour workshop on how to paint Ukrainian Eggs, or pysanky. She will provide materials and eggs, and get you started; you can finish it at home before Easter! This program fills quickly and space is limited. Registration is required.
Poetry and Art in the Bus – a Countywide Contest
10 a.m. Saturday, April 8
Calling poets and artists of all ages! Participate in the Poetry and Art in the Bus contest. Write a poem or draw a black and white sketching at our library on April 8. All entries will be submitted into the contest and winners will be announced at Betts Branch Library on May 6.

Show Boat (A Lincoln Center LIVE telecast)
1:30 p.m. Sunday, April 9
Based on the popular novel by Edna Ferber, “Show Boat” tackles serious issues such as racism, marriages gone wrong, alcoholism and gambling, and covers nearly 50 years in the lives of a show business family. “Show Boat” bursts with songs that quickly became part of The Great American Songbook such as “Ol’ Man River,” “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,” “Make Believe” and “Why Do I Love You?”
