Pick up a CD of great songs about literacy and support the cause! Jim Armenti, Westhamptonite and nationally known musician, has put forth tremendous effort in creating a CD of songs specifically to support our little library. Thank you Jim!
"Move over Arlo Guthrie, 'The Great Pumpkin Roll' has just come to town and may take over as a Thanksgiving standard! The saga behind the songs on this album is heroic: one small town's challenging quest to enlarge its public library building. But this album's sheer rollicking joy celebrates more than the vital role a public library serves in our society and the need for adequate and comfortable library spaces. It also speaks to the pleasures of living in a small town where the eye can encompass a whole community and small sounds mean a lot. The words on this album express our love and affection for our libraries and by extension for one another--the musical expertise is icing on the cake."
You can pick up your copy of the CD at the library, by clicking on the Buy Now button, or by sending us an email and we'll send you ordering information.
Just $15.00 (plus shipping)
All profits from CD sales go towards supporting the library.
