Celebrations of the Hudson River Quadricentennial are everywhere it seems, but the Yonkers Public Library has a program that will help put appreciation of this majestic river and its history into perspective.
The library hosts Frances F. Dunwell, author of “The Hudson: America’s River” (Columbia University Press) and a conservationist with 30 years experience as a conservationist, in a talk at 3 p.m. Oct. 24. The book tells about the Hudson and how it transformed American history, politics and culture. She also talks about the river’s scenic beauty and how it inspired people to be entrepreneurs and to be innovative.
The program is in the community room at the Yonkers Riverfront Library, One Larkin Center. Admission is fre. Books will be on sale with all royalties donated to the Natural Heritage Trust for the conservation of the river.
