Will Library reopens at 9am on Tuesday, April 21

Will Library closed due to an issue with defective electrical equipment. That equipment has since been replaced, passed City of Yonkers electrical inspection, and power has been restored by Con Edison. 

YPL thanks the Mayor's Office, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Buildings and Yonkers Fire Department for their help in resolving this issue. We also thank our patrons for their patience and understanding.

Program Description

Event Details

 

Bestselling author Charles Duhigg presents the ultimate guide on how to communicate and connect with anyone in his latest work, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. 

In this groundbreaking book, Duhigg unravels the secrets of "supercommunicators" to reveal the art -- and the science -- of successful communication. He reveals the conversational questions and gambits that bring people together and shows how even the trickiest of encounters can be turned around. In the process, he shows why a CIA operative was able to win over a reluctant spy, how a member of a jury got his fellow jurors to view an open-and-shut case differently, and what a doctor found they needed to do to engage with a vaccine skeptic.

Packed with fascinating case studies and drawing on cutting-edge research, this book will change the way you think about what you say, and how you say it.
