Since 1955, the East Meadow Public Library’s Board, administration
and staff have worked diligently to provide services and resources
that enrich and enlighten all segments of our community. To best
serve the present and future needs of our community, the Library’s
Board of Trustees and its administrators have been studying ways of updating and
improving the Library’s facility and our ability to meet the community’s requests.
To guide us in our efforts, we requested proposals from several architectural firms
specializing in library design. This past February, we selected Peter Gisolfi Associates, Architects – Landscape Architects, LLP of Hastings-on-Hudson, NY to work
with us.
I am delighted to report that the East Meadow Library Feasibility Study is progressing well. Since we value community input, we would be pleased to arrange a
presentation for you to review the progress that has taken place to date, and to
unveil design concepts that are being developed. We have scheduled open houses
on Tuesday, September 20 at 1 p.m., Thursday, September 22 at 7 p.m., Wednesday,
October 19 at 7 p.m., and Thursday, October 27 at 1 p.m. in the Library. If you are
unable to make those dates, we will also be available at any time during the day.
Stop in and see us! The plans will be on display in the Library and on the Library’s
website, www.eastmeadow.info.
With the community’s input, all of us at the East Meadow Public Library are excited
at the prospect of transforming the Library in ways that will benefit the residents of
the East Meadow community for the next 50 years. Please join us in providing the
best possible Library for you and for your families.

records harmonious and dissonant voices of people from many lands, passing in
the narrow streets of a city not much larger than midtown Manhattan. This will
be the first exhibition to unravel the various cultural traditions and aesthetic
strands that enriched and enlivened the medieval city. First Day of sale (EM

“Speakers of the Dead”
A Walt Whitman Mystery by J. Aaron Sanders
“How did reporter Walt Whitman transform himself from an unremarkable New York flaneur into America’s most visionary poet? J. Aaron
Sanders pursues this mystery as passionately as he does the murders
and body snatchers slipping through the shadows
of nineteenth-century New York.”
From its stunning opening of a young woman at the
gallows, the novel gallops along, taking us along for

poet Whitman is to become.”

Roosevelt III
at our Friends’ Red, White and Blue Reception
The year after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941, President Franklin
D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the relocation of all
Americans of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in the interior of
the United States. This action resulted in the forced relocation and incarceration of 127,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans for the duration of
the war.
“Allegiance” is a sophisticated legal thriller that plunges readers into
the debate within the US government surrounding the imprisonment of
thousands of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
Kermit Roosevelt III is an American writer of fiction and nonfiction and
a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a great-great-grandson of United States President Theodore
Roosevelt and the fifth cousin four times removed of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

In 1950’s Brooklyn, sisters Rose
and Pearl Weiss grow up in a
loving but strict ultra-Orthodox
family, never dreaming of defying their parents or their community’s unbending and intrusive demands. Then, a chance
meeting with a young French
immigrant turns Rose’s world
upside down. In rebellion, she
begins to live a secret life – a life
that shocks her parents when
it is discovered. With nowhere
else to turn, and an overwhelming desire
to be reconciled with those she loves, Rose
agrees to an arranged marriage. But pushed to the edge,
she commits an act so unforgivable, it will exile her forever
from her innocent young sister, her family, and all she has
ever known.

new foster parents, employees at the local museum, have
enlisted Izzy’s help in cataloging items at a long-shuttered

Izzy discovers a stack of unopened letters, a decades-old
journal, and a window into her own past.
