“It’s time to stow the snow boots and give spring a great big hug,” said the late Bliss Morehead, in anticipation of a previous April poetry reading at the Library, a program she founded more than a dozen years ago to celebrate National Poetry Month. It’s an irresistible invitation, and so very Bliss.
Please join Island veterans of the perennially popular readings in a memorial to Bliss Morehead on the 25th Anniversary of the nation’s salute to poetry virtually, via Zoom in a special “Friday Night Dialogues” Memorial Poetry Reading at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 16.

If, as the old advertising line said, “You Don’t Have to be Jewish to Love Levy’s,” then you certainly don’t have to be Irish to love the songs and stories of Ireland, especially when they’re presented by Jim Hawkins as a run up to St. Patrick’s Day.
On Friday, March 5 at 7 p.m. via Zoom, Mr. Hawkins, a long-time performer of the Gaelic arts, will present a program of Irish folktales, songs, myths and legends, as well as his recollections about growing up in Ireland and the Irish community of New York City.
