Behind the dream [electronic resource] : the making of the speech that transformed a nation
by Clarence B. Jones
"I have a dream." When those words were spoken on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, the crowd stood, electrified, as Martin Luther King, Jr. brought the plight of African Americans to the public consciousness and firmly established himself as one of the greatest orators of all time. Behind the Dream is a thrilling, behind-the-scenes account of the weeks leading up to the great event, as told by Clarence Jones, co-writer of the speech and close confidant to King. Jones was there, on the road, collaborating with the great minds of the time, and hammering out the ideas and the speech that would shape the civil rights movement and inspire Americans for years to come

Meet Jack Broomhead. Jack has been kind enough to display an impressive collection of his paintings in the main library for the month of January. If you would like to see Jack’s paintings stop by the main library and look up. I first became interested in art when I was about six or seven years old, when I received a Jon Gnagy’s “learn to Draw” as a Christmas gift. I would sit by my window and try to draw the houses on the distant hills. When I was a bit older, I like to stand back and observe the detail in drawings and paintings. Perhaps this is why when I now paint barns and other objects; I try to add as much detail as I can. It is my intent to create depth in artwork as I look into a painting. I am a member of the Wallkill River Center for the Arts located in Montgomery, NY. I participate in the “Senior Drop In” group which I joined about four years ago. That is when I started to paint local barns. In my opinion, there are barns in our area that have a lot of character. I try to portray that in my paintings. These thirty barns are a small fraction of those available to paint. Our barns are disappearing so I am trying to preserve them through my paintings. Aside from barns, I enjoy painting local birds and landscapes. An inspiration for my landscape is the American works of the Hudson River School artists. I hope you enjoy viewing a portion of my work and recognize some of the many barns that still grace our surrounding area.

The revolutionary Samuel Adams / : Samuel Adams
by Stacy Schiff
"Thomas Jefferson asserted that if there was any leader of the Revolution, "Samuel Adams was the man." With high-minded ideals and bare-knuckle tactics, Adams led what could be called the greatest campaign of civil resistance in American history. Stacy Schiff returns Adams to his seat of glory, introducing us to the shrewd and eloquent man who supplied the moral backbone of the American Revolution. He employed every tool available to rally a town, a colony, and eventually a band of colonies behind him, creating the cause that created a country. For his efforts he became the most wanted man in America: When Paul Revere rode to Lexington in 1775, it was to warn Samuel Adams that he was about to be arrested for treason. In The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams, Schiff brings her masterful skills to Adams's improbable life, illuminating his transformation from aimless son of a well-off family to tireless, beguiling radical who mobilized the colonies"

It's that time of year again!!!! AARP will be offering free basic tax preparation for seniors at the Pine Bush Library beginning on February 3rd. You can make an appointment to get your taxes done starting Monday, January 16th by calling 211 from any phone. Because this service is offered through AARP we here at the library CANNOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU. The only way to get an appointment is by calling 211 and following the prompts. Here are a few helpful tips to make everything go as smoothly as possible. - DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY FOR AN APPOINTMENT. Appointments are made by dialing 211.
- When you call 211 you might have to wait on hold for a while, be prepared.
- If you call 211 and they say there are no more appointments, do not panic and DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY. Appointment blocks are opened up over time, call back another day.
- Nobody at the library can make an appointment for you, scheduling is handled by AARP.
- When making an appointment make sure you make it for a time you can actually show up for. People showing up late for appointments messes the whole process up.
- DO NOT CALL THE LIBRARY FOR AN APPOINTMENT.

NO MORE PLASTIC!!!!! We would like to thank all of you for bringing your plastic to the Library Community Center. Because of your efforts we have kept 1500 POUNDS of plastic out of the oceans/landfills and we are in the process of acquiring TWO more benches made out of recycled plastic to place around the library. Our staff and volunteers have been working 6 days a week to sort, package, weigh and transport all of your donations. To say your response to this program has been amazing is an understatement, we started out thinking we might be able to get 500 pounds before the end of the year and ended up with over three times that. It is now time for us to move on to something new so as of January 1st we will no longer be accepting plastic at the library. You can now bring your plastic to Pine Bush Elementary (PBE) located at 21 Ulsterville Rd, Pine Bush, NY, 12566. The drop off bins are located to the right of the front entrance. Thank you once again.
