Hi,
The book club moves to a new night due to our Adirondack program on Tuesday night.  This Thursday they will be picking up the new book.  They have one month to read it, then discuss it at the next meeting in July.

The new book is Nothing Like It in the World by Stephen E. Ambrose.  It is about the men who built the transcontinental railroad from 1863 to 1869.  It is about the investors who risked their buinesses and money; the enlightened politicians who understood its importance; the engineers and surveyors who risked, and lost, their lives; and the Irish and Chinese immigrants, the defeated Confederate soldiers, and the other laboreres who did the backbreaking and dangerous work on the tracks.

Order your book today!  The book club is free and open to the public.

We have a toddler story time every Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m.  There are stories and songs for toddlers and their caregivers.  All are welcome, just drop in.

Kinnear Museum of Local History

Opening New Adirondack Exhibit 

Please join the Hadley-Luzerne Historical Society in a celebration of local history of the Southern Adirondack region.  The Kinnear Museum of Local History in Lake Luzerne has a new permanent exhibit which focuses on early farming and industry, logging, grand hotels, summer camps, and the “dude ranch” era.  Historical photos and artifacts weave a story of the social and economic development of this typical Adirondack area.

 An opening reception was held on Thursday, May 28 from 7 – 8:30 p.m.  The Museum is located at 52 Main Street, Lake Luzerne.  For further information call 696-4285

On Tuesday guest speaker and wildlife photographer Gerry Lemmo will present a program on birds of the Adirondacks. From warblers to waxwings, take a naturalist’s tour of the exquisite bird life found throughout the Adirondack Park. Bursts of color abound within this popular program. It features many of the area’s best-loved feeder birds and some you probably never knew existed, here in the wilds of northern New York. Songs of some of the featured birds accent the program.

Mr. Lemmo’s travel destinations have also included Alaska, Belize, Costa Rica, Kenya, Madagascar, Trinidad, much of Canada and the United States. Recent trips for photography have taken him to Patagonian Chile, the Antarctic Peninsula, and into the vast Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. A great number of his photos are also from numerous treks throughout the Adirondacks, and the great Northeast.

As a professional photographer for over twenty years, Gerry Lemmo has been widely published in magazines such as National Geographic World, Audubon, The Nature Conservancy, Ranger Rick’s, Adriondack Life, and Birds and Bloom among others.
