Monthly Community Celebrations

Every third Tuesday of the month, join us afternoons in the community room at Morningside Heights Library to celebrate special days, accomplishments, traditions, achievements, and much more. Some days you may find a community partner tabling the event with special information. Feel free to bring a light snack or beverage with you and come ready to mingle! Bring your birthday cake (but leave the candles), make a new friend and learn something new about different cultures and people in your community! Soft tunes and even a movie may be playing as well.

All programs are subject to change or cancellation.

NOTE: Check-in will begin 10 minutes before the program. For free events, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance, but registration does not guarantee admission. Only registered patrons will be admitted into the program.

If you have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or suspect you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, please stay home.

You can request a free ASL (American Sign Language) interpretation by emailing your request at least two weeks in advance of the event: email [email protected] or use this Gmail template.
