PW Library Foundation Prepares for Annual Fund

The Port Washington Library Foundation funds cultural enrichment programs and outreach services coordinated by the Advisory Councils. Artist exhibitions, Children’s programming, Nautical displays and Health presentations, make the Port Washington Public Library (PWPL) much more than just a “building with books.”

Library Foundation-funded programming offered at the PWPL this year has included,

• -The Children’s Advisory Council will present it’s popular day-after-Thanksgiving family concert with award-winning singer/songwriter, Long Island native, and 2009 Grammy nominee, Brady Rymer.
• -The Health Advisory Council presented, “Adolescent Angst: How to Handle Your Adolescent’s Moods and Mental Health”. Mental health experts shared their experiences treating adolescents with anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.
• -The Art Advisory Council sponsored an exhibition of acclaimed American contemporary realist landscape artist Marla Lipkin’s, “Pathway to the Sea.”
• -The ever-popular Manhasset Bay Boat tours were offered by the Nautical Advisory Council, as well as a photo display and artifacts from the Ginger Marshall Martus collection.
