This wonderful concept was started in Wisconsin in 2009. Today there are over 15,000 in all corners of the world. Chappaqua proudly welcomes four of our own in November. The locations are: Gedney Park, the Duck Pond lawn, the Senter Street Rec Center and one on a private yard off route 120 near Grafflin. The libraries were paid for by small contributions from many Chappaqua families and built by scout troops and groups of friends. “The idea is to provide new venues for trading quality books as well as building a greater sense of community,” said Dawn Greenberg who brought the idea to town. “We are absolutely thrilled that the Town Board supported the idea and we look forward to seeing many happy swaps.”

Visit to a Psychic… with Love
Sandra Landis, Psychic and Life Coach, Chappaqua Wellness Center: “Over the years, I have found, and my clients have confirmed: While seeing a psychic may sound “unconventional,” it is actually very common. A psychic allows you to sit back, relax, while you hear your most pressing issues. A psychic sees who you are and can recognize your limitations in one visit! A psychic reading is actually a very loving gift to give. It’s like saying: I care for you and you I want to help you stop worrying and improve whatever situation in your life is noticeably causing confusion.”

Share Beauty, Peace and Love with Music
Janet Angier, owner, Music in Chappaqua and the new Music in Armonk: “Music, by its definition, is the antithesis of convention. Music is all about “the creative”…the creative, it has been said, is simply intelligence having fun! We make learning fun here, plus our accomplished and long time faculty members introduce skills or enhance existing ones to help every budding artist reach their greatest potential.
A gift of music is, at its very essence, a way of sharing beauty, peace and love in someone’s life.
With the “unconventional” in mind, please consider a gift certificate to a friend for a music lesson at Music in Chappaqua, or as a Holiday present to your child or any family member.
After over 20 years of success stories, we are confident it’s a gift that will last a lifetime.”
