April 23, 2025: In honor of national poetry month, MyhometownBronxville.com is featuring poems every week of April written by Bronxville poets. Below is a poem by Bronxville resident Anne Churchill Coffey.
Peace and Renewal
Peace is an anchor which holds us together
Calms us
Motivates us
Centers us
Helps us
Strengthens us
“Buddhas” us
Brings us together
Gives freedom to others
Peace welcomes us to listen, heal, radiate, cleanse, create, align.
Peace guarantees a one way ticket to heaven, nirvana and enlightenment.

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
