SUMMARY:Manhattan’s Little Syria 
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the first Arabic-speaking community in the United States was in New York City? If the answer is no\, you’re not alone. Until Linda Jacobs’ book\, Strangers in the West\, was published in 2012\, the story of that community had been lost. Even the descendants of the people who lived there (among whom were Jacobs’ grandparents) didn’t know about it! Jacobs will talk about reconstructing the colony\, name by name\, its connection to the many smaller Syrian colonies in New Jersey\, and her newest research on Tuesday\, September 30\, 6:30 pm. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.

SUMMARY:Art Talk: Is it Manet or Monet?
DESCRIPTION:October 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm via Zoom \n\n\n\nIs it Manet or Monet?\nPresenter: Janet Mandel\, Arts Educator\nOctober 15 and October 22\, 2025 @ 7 PM via Zoom\n \nRegistration required: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/ViPpjxO2StWna-diel-1Ww \nWhat a difference a vowel makes! Édouard Manet and Claude Monet were two giants of the 19th Century avant-garde who influenced each other in profound ways. However\, many aspects of their personal lives\, artistic technique\, and even philosophical ambitions were radically distinct. In this two-part talk\, we will examine these likenesses and differences through the lens of their remarkable works\, and you will become an expert in the comparison! Manet in Part 1 and Monet and a quiz in Part 2! Bring a pencil! \nPlease note that this program is two parts. You need only register once to join both sessions. You may also choose to attend only one session\, though it is meant to be a two-part experience. Thanks! \nSponsored by the Friends of the Pennington Public Library and the Hopewell Valley Arts Council. \nAbout Our Presenter: Janet Mandel taught in New Jersey’s public schools for 32 years\, the last eighteen of which were at Columbia High School in Maplewood\, where she taught English\, art history\, and World Languages and Cultures. Now retired\, Janet presents illustrated talks on a variety of art history topics at adult schools\, libraries\, museums\, senior centers\, community centers\, and similar venues. \nPennington Public Library\n30 N Main Street\, Pennington\, NJ 08534\n609-737-0404

SUMMARY:Celia Reisman | In Plain View
DESCRIPTION:An astute observer of the world around her\, Reisman’s subjects are in plain view. What at first glance what appears to be a faithful depiction of a believable place\, on further study reveals a complex imaginative journey of color and form. \nEarning a BFA from Carnegie Mellon and MFA from Yale Reisman came to representation backwards: abstraction first\, from her student days and then direct observation. \nShe finds her domestic surroundings no matter how seemingly mundane rich with interpretation. Juxtaposing architecture and nature she invents her own world\, both familiar and unexpected. \nCelia Reisman’s work has been exhibited in shows across the United States. Reisman was awarded a Purchase Prize by the American Academy of Arts and Letters Invitational Exhibition\, and was given a Survey Exhibition at the Michener Museum in Doylestown\, Pennsylvania. \nShe has taught at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts\, Swarthmore College\, and Dartmouth College.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Courtly Intrigue & Whispers as Weapons with Historical Fiction Queen Philippa Gregory
DESCRIPTION:Coined as the “queen of British historical fiction\,” Philippa Gregory returns to the infamous Tudor Court with a tale that is both timely and timeless. We invite you to sit down with us for an intriguing conversation with Gregory about her newest novel Boleyn Traitor. \nJane Boleyn watches from the shadows of the Tudor Court\, where secrets are currency\, every choice is dangerous\, and even the faintest whisper can seal the fate of queens. For Jane\, survival demands playing every role required of her: a loving wife who conceals her doubts\, a devoted sister to Anne Boleyn at the height of her power\, and an obedient spy who carefully wields her words. But in a court ruled by ambition and a tyrant’s sword\, Jane must rely on her sharp wit and skillful maneuvering to outthink those around her\, knowing that one wrong move could cost her everything. \nWith a rich tapestry of new historical insights and lyrical language honed over decades of writing\, Gregory’s return to the Tudors is a new definition of this most fascinating era. As the world becomes more extreme and unpredictable\, Jane’s story of survival and ingenuity offers a compelling parallel\, serving as both a powerful historical narrative and an echo of the challenges we face. This is a riveting tale of loyalty and betrayal\, ambition and love—one that should not be missed by readers this fall. \nAbout the Author: Dr. Philippa Gregory is one of the world’s foremost historical novelists. She wrote her first ever novel\, Wideacre\, when she was completing her PhD in eighteenth-century literature and it sold worldwide\, heralding a new era for historical fiction. Her flair for blending history and imagination developed into a signature style and Philippa went on to write many bestselling novels\, including The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen. \nDr. Gregory studied history at the University of Sussex and was awarded a PhD by the University of Edinburgh where she is a Regent and was made Alumna of the Year in 2009. She holds an honorary degree from Teesside University\, and is a fellow of the Universities of Sussex and Cardiff. Philippa is a member of the Society of Authors and in 2016\, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution to Historical Fiction Award by the Historical Writers’ Association. In 2018\, she was awarded an Honorary Platinum Award by Neilsen for achieving significant lifetime sales across her entire book output. In 2021\, she was awarded a CBE for services to literature and to her charity Gardens for the Gambia\, and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
