Fall is the perfect time to grab a cup of tea (and maybe an apple cider donut from the Larchmont Farmer’s Market) and relax under the covers with a good book. Lucky for you, the new season brings with it an abundance of new books ranging from the Barefoot Contessa’s much anticipated memoir to a historical fiction novel about the making of Veuve Clicquot champagne and a new title from Paula Hawkins.

The Bruce Museum Pass is Back!
The Bruce Museum, in Greenwich Connecticut, has reopened after undergoing a major remodeling and expansion project which began in late 2020. The Bruce added a new 44,000 foot wing to their building as well as a cafe, auditorium, indoor garden and spaces for exhibits. Their art collection now includes pieces by Picasso, Matisse, Renoir and Cezanne… just to name a few! The library is delighted to have this pass back in rotation along with our other thirteen museum passes. As always, we have the Friends of the Larchmont Library to thank for their continued support which makes the library’s Museum Pass Program possible.
