Anna Mae Auchmoedy was the woman we have to thank for the original idea of the Rosendale Library. Anna Mae and the Comus Club of Rosendale started our library in 1940. The Women’s Club of Rosendale was key in promoting and supporting our young library. Lottie Burns worked very closely with Anna Mae for many years.
Eric Bowen is creating a scholarship in memory of his son Matthew C. Bowen. Matthew had many interests, he was an avid reader and cyclist.

A Gentleman In Moscow
by
Amor Towles
With his breakout debut novel, Rules of Civility, Amor Towles established himself as a master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction. A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery. Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count’s endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
