Tuxedo Park Library receives Greater Hudson Heritage Network Award for Excellence
Tuxedo Park Library Named Recipient of Award for Excellence for "Tuxedo Park: Lives,
Legacies, Legends"
Tuxedo Park, NY (09/07/2011) - The Tuxedo Park Library is a recipient of the Greater
Hudson Heritage Network Award for Excellence for the publication of "Tuxedo Park: Lives, Legacies, Legends," by Chiu Yin Hempel, in recognition of the continued effort to bring the rich histoly of Tuxedo and its residents to life. The award will be given at the GHHN Annual Meeting on October 14th at the West Point Museum.
Author and Tuxedo Park resident Chiu Yin Hempel set out to answer the intriguing questions: who were the people who lived in the period houses? Who were the laborers who built the mansions, winding roads and endless stonewalls? What were their lives like, and how did they fit into what was happening in America at the time? Did their deeds have any significance that transcends time? Relying on personal interviews with descendants of the original settlers, some of whom still reside in Tuxedo, Hempel unearthed a treasure trove of family histories, private photographs, and memorabilia.
"Tuxedo Park: Lives, Legacies, Legends," is available for sale from the Tuxedo Park Libraly and on Amazon, for $80. Proceeds from the book are split between the Tuxedo Park Library and the Tuxedo Park Fire Department.
The Tuxedo Park Library is an association public library serving the 3,624 residents of the Town of Tuxedo. To find out more, please visit www.tuxedoparklibrary.org.
The Greater Hudson Heritage Network's Awards For Excellence program seeks to recognize and commend exceptional efforts among GHHN members. Awards are made to projects and organizations that exemplify creativity and professional vision resulting in a contribution to the preservation and interpretation of the historic scene, material culture and diversity of the region.

The Authors’ Circle Proudly Presents Meet Author Amy Plum
Die for Me
Saturday, June 11th
4 pm
Review of the book from the March 1 issue of Booklist:
"Move over, Bella and Edward. Zombies replace vampires in this well-crafted paranormal romance. After the tragic death of their parents, Kate and her older sister, Georgia, move to Paris. Georgia fits into the party scene immediately, but Kate continues to grieve and brood until she meets the dashingly handsome Vincent. Although their attraction is immediate and intense, Kate is uneasy, even wary. Through a narrative that alternates between romance and violence, Kate and the reader are introduced not only to contemporary Paris but to a war-torn netherworld populated by zombies who save people from death and other beings who plot to kill them. In her debut novel, Plum deftly navigates the real world and the fantastical. Her characters are authentic, and their romances are believable. Plum introduces a world and a story that are sure to intrigue teen readers and will easily attract fans of the Twilight series."
Books will be available for purchase and autographs after the program.
