Book Discussion and Museum Tour

We’ve partnered with The Long Island Museum for a collaborative book discussion. The program is a one-of-a-kind reading experience, where the museum exhibit enhances the conversation about the book.

Wednesday, April 30, 2025

2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the History Museum (Main Visitor Entrance)

Educators from the Long Island Museum will guide us through the exhibit Building the Ballot Box: Long Island’s Democratic History. Then we’ll be discussing the book, Stories from Suffragette City edited by M.J. Rose and Fiona Davis, led by Librarian Emma Yohannan. Registration required. Residents and nonresidents welcome. Click here to register now. Emma Clark cardholders will have a copy of the book reserved for them in early April. You’ll be notified when the book is waiting for you. Nonresidents are responsible for obtaining their book through their home library.

About The Long Island Museum Exhibit:

Building the Ballot Box: Long Island’s Democratic History – will explore how residents of Long Island have worked both inside and outside of formal government pathways and within the public sphere to ensure their voices and those of their neighbors are heard. Covering more than 250 years of Long Island history, from the indigenous communities of Long Island to George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring, to the fight for Civil Rights and issues of immigration today, Long Islanders have continued to examine who is truly included in “we the people.” An important theme of the exhibition is the fight for women’s suffrage and the effort to advance women’s political participation in the 107 years since suffrage was achieved in New York State in 1917. This subject is highlighted by a major loan from the New York State Museum of a wagon used in suffrage rallies and parades in New York City and Long Island at the beginning of the 20th century. The exhibition will also focus on two trailblazing women who began their political careers in this region, Shirley Chisholm (1924-2005) and Geraldine Ferraro (1935-2011)..

About The Book:

Stories from Suffragette City edited by M.J. Rose and Fiona Davis. An impressive line-up of bestselling authors contribute to this anthology, featuring short stories set on October 23, 1915, the day of an enormous march for women’s suffrage in New York City.
Please note, if you are visiting the museum any other time, we offer free passes. Click here for more information on our Museum Pass Collection.

Dog lovers will be “paws-itively” thrilled – the AKC Museum of the Dog was recently added to our “Museum Pass” collection!

The AKC Museum of the Dog boasts a combination of fine art, high-tech interpretive displays, and according to their website, “rotating exhibits featuring objects from its 1,700-piece collection and 4,000-volume library.” Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 2 children (12 and under) to the canine museum, located at 101 Park Avenue in New York City (the museum lists regular admission prices on their website as adults at $15, student/youth/seniors/active military and veterans at $10, and children at $5). Those with a pass not only get the advantage of visiting the museum for free, but also received a 10% discount to the museum gift shop. This pass is a “Print on Demand”, which means there is no need to pick up or return a physical pass to the Library. Users may print the pass from any computer, even from home. To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.

The Museum Pass program at Emma Clark Library features over 30 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.

Please note: Our Museum Pass collection is available to Three Village residents only.

Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary, Instagram @emmaclarklibrary, or Twitter @ESCML.
