Join Jay Westerveld on Thursday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m. at the Albert Wisner Public Library for a discussion of Warwick’s Wildlife.

Learn about the region’s vast diversity of species and where the best places are to see them. Questions will be welcomed throughout the photo-filled 90 minute talk, and some very small critters may come along, too. Entertaining and informative for kids and adults.

Warwick native Jay Westerveld is an internationally-recognized ecologist and educator. He has been researching natural and cultural history for over 40 years, throughout America, Europe, Asia and the South pacific. Locally, he co-founded the Glenmere Conservation Coalition and the Sugar Loaf Historical society in 2008, The New York Natural History council in 2010, and the WAWAYANDA Watershed Alliance in 2011.

He co-founded the “Leopard Cubs” Snow Leopard research organization in Western Mongolia in 2015 and performs ecological research in East and Central Asia. Jay’s Central park-based “Urban Safaris” ™ for his “Adaptation in Nature” module with Columbia Business school ( in which he encouraged participants to view their own executive competition model in the broader context of evolutionary adaptation) were popular with International Executive Education students.

Westerveld is a visiting lecturer with Columbia University, the United States Military Academy at West Point, the NY Entomological Society, the American Museum of Natural History, Northeast partners in Amphibian Conservation, Northeast Natural History Association, the National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and others.

• Thu Sep 14:Melodies of ‘flight with Klemyndable Flute Trio:

  The Kemyndable Flute Trio, Deborah Proulx, Amy Klein, and Kenneth Korn, are returning with a concert specifically designed for the outdoor performance space at the Albert Wisner Public Library.

  The woods and wetlands directly behind the library are home to many birds, and the perimeter of the property is lined with birdhouses.  The terraced grounds create an intimate amphitheater making it the perfect setting for a concert celebrating birds and the music of birds. The flute has a particular affinity to emulate bird songs.  While the flute can play high and fast, it still is lyrical and melodic.  Not surprisingly many composers have written works inspired by birdsong specifically for the Flute.  The Kemyndable Trio will be performing some of the most successful works that capture the lyrical and flowing nature of birdsong.  The following works will be performed: 

  • Trio in D for 3 Flutes F.A. Hoffmeister
  • The Bird Fancyer’s Delight John Walsh
  • Dance of the Hummingbirds Halpner
  • The Cuckoo in the Forest 
  • (From Carnival of the Animals) Saint-Saens
  • On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring Frederick Delius
  • The Cuckoo and the Nightingale Gustav Mahler
  • Birds Herman Beeftink
• Sun Sep 14: Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes: Join us for an afternoon of vintage hot jazz, blues and ragtime music from 1900-1929. Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes source their tunes from dusty old 78rpm records and antique sheet music and give new life to songs created over 100 years ago!

The Warwick Children’s Book Festival was first held in September 2005 at Stanley-Deming Park in Warwick, NY.  So well-received, it was clear the Festival would have to become a Warwick tradition. After a six-year hiatus during which Albert Wisner Public Library designed, built and relocated to a beautiful new building, the Festival resumed in 2011.  Planned and organized by the Library, the Festival is sponsored by Library benefactors Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes, the Village of Warwick and others.  Best Book Fairs, LLC is the bookseller.  A portion of the proceeds benefits the Albert Wisner Public Library Foundation, which funds enhancements to the programs and services of the Library.

The 2022 Warwick Children’s Book Festival will be held on Saturday, October 8 from 11am-4pm at Stanley-Deming Park at the intersection of South Street and Parkway.  Admission is free and the Festival is open to all the young at heart.  Join fellow readers to celebrate children’s literacy, share a love of the written word, discover new books, talk with those who create them, and have your book purchases autographed.  Nearly 2,000 visitors attended the Festival in 2021.  The Festival will again bring the community and visitors together in the heart of the Village of Warwick, near charming shops, galleries, and family-friendly cafes, and close to apple orchards and family farms. 

We are delighted to welcome back the beloved Uncle Brothers Band.  Singer-songwriter Tom Gardner and colleagues will perform a lively, interactive concert for children in the bandstand at 12:00pm.  Preview the Uncle Brothers here and invite a friend to the concert!  Feel free to bring a blanket, towel or lawn chair.

The Festival, its participants and guests will comply with any State and local public health safety requirements then in effect.
