Roll Call

If you reside in or are visiting the Hamptons this week, grab a copy of Hampton Style. It is free and available wherever you can get Dan's Papers (whose cover story this week is the annual Artist and Writers Charity Softball Game - the artists won for the second year in a row). Hampton Style's cover story is writers of the Hamptons and on the cover is my favorite patron, Tom Wolfe. He is looking elegant in a (BLUE?!) blazer over his white shirt and pants. My favorite part of the story is looking closely at the photos of Mr. White in his Southampton home ... you can see titles to some of the books on his shelves.
The issue also contains a compiled list of local writers, which we at the library contributed to. In case you are not lucky enough to be on the East End of Long Island, here is the list:
