On Thursday, September 13th the New Rochelle Public Library Foundation presented another evening of Cocktails & Conversation, this time a ripped-from-the-headline discussion on “Kids, Guns and Schools,” with the bestselling author of Only Child, Rhiannon Navin, and film maker Kate Way, whose debut documentary G is for Gun recently aired on PBS. The discussion, held at Alvin & Friends Restaurant, was moderated by Prof. Amy Bass, Ph.D., Director of CNR's Honors Program.

The New Rochelle Public Library Foundation is a volunteer fundraising and advocacy organization working to ensure the future well-being of the Library. The NRPL Foundation, created in 1993, supports Library initiatives that enhance opportunities for learning, exploration and public discourse. Among the Foundation’s recent contributions, it provided more than $106,000 to partially underwrite the cost of the remodel of the Ossie Davis Theater; along with new seating and exterior signage and entrance work, the upgrade includes assistive listening technology, greater accessibility and upgraded fire suppression, HVAC and other systems.
