Halloween and November programs at your Whitney Young Branch Library




Hello friends and community partners, I am attaching a listing of wonderful upcoming programs that we will be presenting at your Whitney Young Branch Library throughout the month of November. We hope we will be presenting something of interest for patrons of all ages.

I would like to make a special push for our Next Generation of Great Jazz Musicians. These young musicians under the tutorage of jazz percussionist Charles Heath are all competing for the Ken Chaney Scholarship that will send them to a jazz camp as well as help fund college expenses. That program will kick off on November 7th and will be featuring the fantastic young saxophone player Isaiah Collier.
