Puzzlers and storytellers in Chappaqua

May
21

Get your calendars out. Here are two programs May 30 and 31 at the Chappaqua Library that sound like fun.

•At 7:30 p.m. May 30, Alan Sklar, a voice actor for radio , commercials and audiobooks, will be reading four stories by  English writer H.H. Munro (pen name SAKI), who is sometimes compared with American authors  O’Henry and Dorothy Parker. Saki, who lived from 1870 to 1916, wrote short stories and a play — and he poked fun at British society.

•At 11 a.m. May 31,  Westchester resident Will Shortz, New York Times Crossword Puzzle editor extraordinare and National Public Radio puzzle master will talk about yes indeed puzzles, and also the docu-film based on a puzzle tournament.

The library is at 195 South Greeley Ave. Programs are free and open to the public.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
