Kelly Yang is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of over 15 books for children, young adults and adults, including the Front Desk series (Front Desk, Three Keys, Room to Dream, Key Player, Top Story, Chef’s Secret, and the Front Desk Graphic Novel), New From Here, Finally Seen, Finally Heard, Parachutes, Private Label, The Take, Yes We Will: Asian Americans Who Shaped This Country and Little Bird Laila. She will speak on how she overcame poverty and language barriers as a young immigrant child to become an internationally best-selling and award-winning author.
With over 2 million copies sold to date, the Front Desk series has changed the landscape of children’s literature. Based on Kelly’s childhood experience living and working in a motel as a first-generation immigrant child from China, the Front Desk series authentically describes the immigrant experience through its heart-warming, spunky protagonist, 10-year-old Mia Tang. Named “one of the best books of the 21st century,” by Kirkus Reviews, Front Desk has won many of the most prestigious awards in literature, including the 2019 Asian Pacific American Award for Literature, the 2024 Strega Prize for Literature in Italy, the Parents' Choice Gold Medal, the 2019 Global Read Aloud, and many other honors. Kelly will talk about her writing journey and how she incorporates timely themes of immigration, identity, socioeconomic struggles, and technology into the books she writes.
This is an endowed Louise Seaman Bechtel (1915) Lecture.

Join Caroline Klibanoff, executive director of Made By Us, for a practical and engaging session on how to better understand and connect with Gen Z. Participants will understand what motivates younger generations, how they engage with history today and how authentic engagement can strengthen institutional relevance — ensuring we build lasting relationships with the generation that will carry this history forward.&nbsp;

This May, acclaimed historian and filmmaker Stephen Blauweiss headlines a dynamic three-part lecture series that invites audiences to explore the rich, surprising, and often overlooked stories of the Kingston Rondout. Blending meticulously restored historic imagery, engaging storytelling, and multimedia presentations, the series offers a fresh and entertaining perspective on regional and cultural history. Designed for both longtime residents and curious newcomers, each event delivers an immersive experience—far from a traditional classroom lecture—complete with compelling visuals, little-known anecdotes, and opportunities for audience interaction. Join historian Stephen Blauweiss in person for a multimedia presentation and virtual walk through the old neighborhood of Rondout before 600 structures were torn down. There will be many “Then &amp; Now" comparisons featuring a vast array of quality, historic images that Blauweiss has impeccably restored, including many of Kingston Point Amusement Park in its heyday.The presentation will be chock full of lesser-known anecdotes that will delight and inform. Whether you're a native or a newcomer, you'll be surprised how much there is to discover—this is not your 8th grade history class! There will also be time for Q&amp;A at the end. Stephen Blauweiss is an historian with over 30 years experience as an independent filmmaker and&nbsp;produces work on a wide variety of subjects, from art and education to social and environmental issues. He has produced over 75 short films, including three features. Twenty of his short films about artists have aired on American Public Television and have been screened in museums and festivals across the U.S., Europe and Canada, including the New York State Museum, Mass Moca, the Albany Institute of History &amp; Art, and the Dorsky Museum of Art.
