Events ahead at the East Meadow Library this fall

The East Meadow Public Library has a slew of fun events ahead this fall.

The Marilyn Bunshaft Memorial Concert will kick off on Oct. 8 at 2 p.m, featuring the Phillipe Lemm Trio — winner of the international B-jazz competition. The band creates a passionate musical soundscape, which ranges from traditional jazz to progressive rock and classical-influenced music.

Fans of Patti Page and Doris Day will enjoy Dian Cypkins performance on Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. Dubbed “Songbirds of the Fifties,” this in-person concert features the talents of Cypkin, and will transport listeners back to the fabulous 50s. Throughout the performance, listeners will hear hits by the iconic artists, including Tennessee Waltz and Que Sera Sera.

Poet and author Naudy Suarez will be at the library on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. joining the live broadcast of “It Came From the Radio,” to discuss her recent work, “Blackbird.” Registration is required for this event. The radio show streams live from the library on Wednesdays once a month.

The renowned psychic, Daniel Akner, will be back at the library on Oct. 30. His readings are eerily “spot on,” and he will attempt to read as many people as possible. The library asks that people register no more than two per family. Akner’s event begins at 7 p.m.

If you like apples, then you’ll be sure to enjoy the East Meadow library bus trip for the Peddlers Village Apple Festival in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. The quaint storybook village, with award-winning gardens, a beautiful shopping district and dining and lodging, is just a bus ride away on Nov. 4.

The cost for library patrons is $50; lunch and shopping must be done on your own for additional costs. The bus will depart from the library’s parking lot at 9 a.m., and leave Peddlers Village at 4:30 p.m. Registration for this event opened on Oct. 5. There will be a two-ticket limit per family.

Just before Veteran’s Day, the Swingtime Big Band will be back for the library’s annual concert. A wonderful afternoon show that the whole family can enjoy, this is how the library honors the community’s veterans year after year. Stop by the show at 2 p.m. and be enthralled by swing era music.

Among these events, there will be several movie screenings, musical performances, classes for seniors and crafts the whole family can enjoy. For more the most up-to-date information, view the library’s newsletter at EastMeadow.info.
