THE KAIJU PRESERVATION SOCIETY
by John Scalzi
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization.” Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on.

What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at least. In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm, human-free world. They're the universe's largest and most dangerous panda and they're in trouble. 

It's not just the Kaiju Preservation Society who have found their way to the alternate world. Others have, too. And their carelessness could cause millions back on our Earth to die.

Community Room Nanuet Public Library
Registration is required. 
When Sephardic Jewish merchant Luis Moses Gomez first arrived in the new world between 1700 and 1705, he quickly rose as a shrewd and successful businessman on the increasingly-populated Manhattan Island. Spreading his influences northward to the Hudson Valley between 1714 and 1716, his establishment of property near today’s Marlboro, NY marked the site of the nation’s oldest Jewish dwelling—a home that would come to experience more than 300 years of transformation. Using newly discovered documents, Alex Prizgintas identifies popular legends and little-known facts about Gomez, along with the storied history of today’s Gomez Mill House.
