Upcoming Programs

Murder at Dobbs Ferry Library! (Registration -- $40)

Murder at Dobbs Ferry Library! (Registration — $40)

Friday, April 17

7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

You are invited to attend a special event hosted by local storyteller David Neilsen to announce a very big change to the face of the Library.

But the event is rudely interrupted by murder!

Everyone who attends is assigned a character, everyone is a suspect, and one lucky guest will be the actual murderer! Solve puzzles and complete goals to earn clues and dive deep into the mystery behind the unfortunate corpse. Can you catch the killer before the night is out? Or will they live to strike again?

Local storyteller David Neilsen, whose murder mystery events have graced the halls of places like Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Hudson River Museum, brings his unique form of mayhem and mystery to Dobbs Ferry Public Library for this one-of-a-kind event!

Tickets are $40 and are limited, so get yours today! Guests will receive their assigned character a few days ahead of the event, so they can come in costume if they so desire. This is an evening to go all out, get out of your comfort zone, and put on your best performance!

TRUST NO ONE!

Proceeds support the Friends of the Dobbs Ferry Library. Get your tickets here!
