The Lifeguard

A breath.  Bobbing.  My eyes gaze up at the blue sky.
A breath.  I sink.  The cold water surrounds me.
A whistle.  A splash.  Motion and waves move towards me.
A hand.  A snatch.  She grabs my body and yanks me upwards.
A breath.  The air fills my lungs.
A smile.  She looks at me.
“Hey buddy,” she says, “I got you.”  
The lifeguard swims me to the wall.
Safe.

Golden Child

Before their embrace, he visited the bathroom yet again.

“Got cash?”

She paid. They both knew he should have his own fare. They both knew why he didn’t.

“Talk soon?”

Both knew he wouldn’t call. Since birth (her third Passover), he couldn’t be tamed – first “class clown,” then “life of the party,” now “a danger to himself.” All grown, he remained a laughing cherub tugging on her braid. She’d always love him anyway.

Alone

The moon gleamed on the backyard bay when she found Stephen crying and alone on the patio, shivering, completely drenched. Empty beer cans surrounded the dejected figure. His suit reeked of the salty, pungent marine scent. The crisp, clear night  brought a biting breeze but inside the wedding venue people joyously danced and mingled with friends and loved ones. She took her son's cold, trembling hand in hers. In silence they went home.

EB Social Circle

Join us for the EB Social Circle, a welcoming monthly program for adults (18+) with cognitive or developmental disabilities. Each month, participants come together to connect, enjoy engaging activities, and build community in a supportive and inclusive environment.

This month, we’re turning up the music for a fun-filled Karaoke Social Hour! Come sing, laugh, and enjoy time with friends. Whether you love performing your favorite songs or prefer cheering others on, everyone is welcome. No singing experience is needed — just bring your smile!

Sensory Friendly Browsing Hour

Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour at the library, held before public hours.

This dedicated time is designed to offer a quieter, calmer library experience for children, teens, and adults with sensory sensitivities, along with their families or guardians.

The library will be open only to registered participants during this hour, providing a safe, low-stimulation environment to browse, read, use the computers and explore before regular public hours begin.
