Zombie Walk at the Pember Library / Slate Valley Museum

Calling all ghouls! Halloween is approaching and the Pember Library and Museum and the Slate Valley Museum are teaming up for pre-Halloween fun. Zombie Fest takes place on First Friday, October 4, from 7 to 9 pm at both museums. Zombie Walk VI assembles at the Pember for the 8 pm march to the Slate Valley Museum.

“We expect a large Zombie mob this year,” said Mary King, Pember board president. “And we are prepared to feed and rally them for the 8 o’clock Walk and invasion of the Slate Valley Museum.”

Both museums are planning organized events this year, with activities, crafts, treats, costume judging, prizes and surprises! The Pember will provide “Wormy Dogs on a bun,” “Jelly Eyeballs,” “Bloody Punch,” “Spider Peanut Butter Cup Cookies,” and “Meaty Lady Fingers” for hungry ghouls, along with make up stations and Zombie Rock to wake the dead for the Zombie Parade down Main Street to the SVM, where the party will continue with crafts, a costume contest, and more goodies!

Festivities start at 7 pm and everything is FREE!

Don and Ann Duncan, will be the guest speakers at the Pember Library and Museum on Wednesday, September 25th, at 6 PM. The Duncans will talk about their new book: DESTINATION D.C. a Modern-day Jonah? and the events that led them to write this book.

Ann is a local radio personality on WVNR/WNYV, artist and author. DESTINATION D.C. is her 6th book.

The elevator addition has made both floors of our building accessible. Families with strollers, people in wheelchairs, someone with a cane or walker or those with breathing problems can all get into the Pember.

We are inundated with paperback donations. Please help us by stocking up on these!

Award-Winning Bird Photography opening at Pember First Friday
The National Audubon Awards Road Show of best avian photography of 2018 is coming to The Pember Library and Museum in Granville, NY. The winning photographs for the exhibit were selected from more than 8,000 entries submitted by photographers from all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces.
The exquisite photographs celebrate the splendor of many bird species protected under the 100-year-old Migratory Bird Treaty Act, the nation’s most important bird conservation law.
Come walk among the stunning photographs and learn more about local bird life. Reproductions of the images will be for sale.
To make it a killer show, the well known and popular jazz band, “Moose Crossing” will be performing. Zak Hampton and friends have played with us many times and they always delight.
