The Cazenovia Public Library invites music enthusiasts of all ages to the Community Room on Friday, April 6 at 7:00 pm for a performance by the renowned male-female duo The Cadleys.
The Cadleys are one of the most popular and entertaining acoustic bands in the northeast. Using two voices and two instruments, John and Cathy seamlessly combine stunning duet harmonies with a smooth acoustic sound. Their performances feature a mixture of bluegrass, folk, country, and original music.

Cazenovia Public Library to Host Interactive Junior Book Club
“The Wild and Wonderful Readers” junior book club will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, April 3 at 3:30 pm in the Cazenovia Public Library Story Garden Room. The session will combine book discussion, games, and hands-on creative activities. The group will discuss The War that Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. The 2015 historical fiction novel was a Newbery Honor Book and the winner of the 2016 Scneider Family Book Award.
Ten-year-old Ada has spent her entire life confined to a one room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada’s twisted foot to let her outside their home. When her little brother is shipped out of London during WWII, Ada escapes to join him in the country. A woman named Susan Smith reluctantly takes the children into her home. Eventually, Ada learns to trust her new caregiver—and Susan begins to love the children she was forced to look after. Will their bond be strong enough to keep the new family together, or will Ada and her brother be forced to return to her cruel mother?
The junior book club is open to children ages 9-12. Books are available at the circulation desk.
