Save the Dates!
 We have two upcoming events you won't want to miss.
Do you believe in interactive magic? That’s what the Library will showcase on Sunday, April 28, at 2:00 p.m. in the second-floor auditorium with a performance from magician Scott Jameson. “I don’t do card tricks or pull rabbits out a hat,” he says. “But I will bring a drawing to life, spin and juggle basketballs, and travel through time with an audience that will be very involved. In circus terminology, my show is for kids of all ages.”
Then on Sunday, May 19 at 2:00 p.m., in the second-floor auditorium, will be a performance by renowned Steinway concert pianist Carolyn Enger. Returning from the Netherlands and Germany, Ms. Enger will perform a program she has entitled "Lyricism Then and Now," with works by Leonard Bernstein, Ned Rorem, Aaron Copland, and Franz Schubert. The New York Times called her 2013 record of Rorem's work "one of the best classical recordings of the year."
Both performances are sponsored by the Friends of the White Plains Public Library.
