HYPE Night Review
Thursday, April 21st was an exciting night here at the library. We had the Huntington Young Performers Enrichment Solo Preview Night, and it was a total success.
Organized by Matthew Beeby and Collin Richardson, two Huntington High School students and musicians, the event started at 7pm and featured 15 student musicians who played a wide variety of instruments. There was a big audience turnout, a table of refreshments, and My Long Island TV even showed up to do an interview.
Huntington Public School's wrote up an article about the night, be sure to check it out: Huntington Pair Organizes HYPE Night at Library.

Literature To Life, The American Place Theatre's performance-based literacy program, presents a professionally staged verbatim adaptation of THE KITE RUNNER by Kahled Hosseini. This dramatic performance will bring to life the strong themes and characters of Amir and Hassan in Hosseini's "Stunning debut novel." A pre and post performance discussion facilitated by a teaching artist will complete this visual literary experience.
