News 12 is honoring Tom Haas, posthumously, as the "special person who has made a difference" for the month of October 2010.
News 12 Anchor Danielle Campbell will be coming to WHPL on Tuesday morning, September 21 to interview our Director, Regina Mascia, and members of the Haas family about the fountain recently installed on the Library's front lawn. The fountain was designed by Thomas Haas; the dream of his fountain was brought to the attention of the Friends of the West Hempstead Library in 2007 as Tom's Dream.
Tom's dream was finally realized this summer when the fountain was completed. The fountain was dedicated on Saturday, September 11, 2010. See our photos of the final installation and dedication!
