Event Details

Join us for a program inspired by this year's Long Island Reads Selection on Wednesday March 27 at 2 pm with Sheila Taub for The Wonders of Central Park.

In the early 1850's wealthy New York merchants and landowners admired the public grounds of London and Paris.  They argued that New York needed a comparable facility to establish its international reputation.  Find out how Central Park was created and recently restored to the beautiful place it is today.  Explore the many destinations that comprise the park.

This program will be followed by the documentary film Birders: The Central Park Effect.  We hope you will stay and watch.
