October 15, 2025(2 events) – The Caldwell-Lake George Library Book Club will meet on Wednesday, October 15th at 6:30 pm to discuss The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman. It's rarely a quiet day for the Thursday Murder Club. Shocking news reaches them—an old friend has been killed, and a dangerous package he was protecting has gone missing. The gang's search leads them into the antiques business, where the tricks of the trade are as old as the objects themselves. As they encounter drug dealers, art forgers, and online fraudsters—as well as heartache close to home—Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron, and Ibrahim have no idea whom to trust. With the body count rising, the clock ticking down, and trouble firmly on their tail, has their luck finally run out? And who will be the last devil to die? The group gathers at 6:30 pm and discussion begins at 7:00 pm. New members are always welcome. |

October 23, 2025(4 events) Registration required: The Richards Library (Warrensburg) –
Our next Project Local exhibition features the art of Ottavia Huang. Ms. Huang’s art was recently featured in Lake George Journey: An Alphabet Adventure, on sale now at the library and other local businesses. A reception honoring her will be held on Thursday, October 23rd at 6:00 pm.
The artist reflects. “My work captures urban and natural landscapes, emphasizing peace and tranquility. Using watercolor and pen, I create spontaneous, light-filled sketches that serve as documentations of my travels and explorations of New York as my newfound home. I aim to convey the beauty of nature through on-location sketches, portraying both the physicality and the emotions of every scene. Beyond landscapes, I explore connections and emotions in daily life, depicting bonds between friends, loved ones, and furry companions. Each sketch aims to evoke the serenity and emotional depth experienced in each moment, represented by light, transparent colors and simple lines.
Ms. Huang’s art will be on display until the end of November. Stay tuned for a watercolor and ink workshop, too! This exhibition is held in partnership with the Lake George Arts Project.
