The Garden Club of Kinderhook and Friends of the Kinderhook Memorial Library will hold a hands-on floral design class at the library just in time for the Garden Club's Fall Door Decorating Contest. Garden Club members will instruct how to make a fall-themed hanging floral design for a door. The class is free and open to the public but registration is required and limited to 20.

The second Across the Digital Divide program will feature employment resources on the web. Many traditional print services are moving online and it has made job seeking that much more daunting to a lot of people.

Can't wait until Saturday? Friends of the Library can get a sneak peek at the books on sale at the Preview Party. Not a Friend? Not a problem; you can join at the door. Light refreshments will be served.

Special guest autor Lauren Belfer (City of Light) will speak about her latest book, A Fierce Radiance, which is at once a thriller, a love story, a family saga, and a window into American history, evoking the pure essence of war-time New York.  It portrays the tumultuous early days of World War II, when many feared that America would lose the war, when even children were  caught up in the sacrifices demanded by the nation's mobilization, and when individuals clung fiercely to their loved ones, because no one could predict what tomorrow would bring.
