A Note from the Director:
"The West Hempstead Public Library and the Friends of the Library co-sponsored a concert on Sunday, November 9, 2008. The purpose of this "special" concert was to unveil the new Yamaha piano that the Friends had gifted to the library. The library has always had hand-me-down pianos. This is our first brand new piano.
A special performance by the Long Island Piano Duo, Yelena and Vladimir Polezhayev, debuted the new piano. Yelena and Vladimir were joined by their two sons, Anton and Simon, on violin and bass, respectively. The hour and a half concert was attended by 110 patrons. Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the staff of the library, I would like to thank the Friends for their generous gift.
Regina Mascia, Library Director"
