The Children’s Department of the Woodbury Public Library is now offering to read stories to families through Zoom. Librarians are at the library and have access to the majority of the collection. Children and caregivers can request a particular book, author, or subject and every effort will be made to satisfy the request. The Zoom sessions will be private and one on one with families. Time slots are available anytime Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:00-4:00. Requests for a Zoom Family Storytime can be made by emailing Librarians Bonnie Knapik at bknapik@biblio.org or Denise Butwill at dbutwill@biblio.org. Once the requests have been made, caregivers will receive a Zoom invitation with login information by email. For questions or additional information, email or call 203-263-3502

Ludwig van Beethoven is considered by many to be the most important composer in western civilization. A genius of indefatigable strength, defiant courage, and artistic vision, it was Beethoven who changed the course of western music, introducing romanticism and ushering in the modern orchestra and modern piano.
Beethoven’s life was a constant struggle - with deafness, with unattainable aristocratic women, with control of his nephew Karl, with intestinal illnesses, and above all, with each and every note he composed. With his progressive hearing loss, he entered a solitary and lonely space, from which he crafted a trove of incomparable masterpieces -the Missa Solemnis, the last string quartets and piano sonatas, and the magisterial Ninth Symphony that culminates in that wondrous paean to humanity, the "Ode to Joy.”
Join Dr. Vincent de Luise for a fascinating tour of Beethoven’s life and his music, his illnesses, his "Immortal Beloved," and his eternal legacy. Dr. de Luise is the Cultural Ambassador, Waterbury Symphony Orchestra and Assistant Professor, Yale University School of Medicine.
