The Smithtown Library's Long Island Room is pleased to announce that its 2021 Virtual Program Series, The Roaring 20s on Long Island. Originally scheduled for 2020, this year's series and corresponding exhibit will examine how Long Island was impacted by the important historical events and popular culture of the 1920s. For more information, please check the Library's website (www.smithlib.org). The King of Queens-Louis Armstrong’s Wonderful World Tuesday, September 28 • 7:00-8:30pm Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) was one of the most famous and influential musicians of all time, changing the course of music with his innovations as a trumpeter and vocalist. Emblematic of the Jazz Age and the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Armstrong’s unique sound was wildly popular and widely sought-after. Yet while the entertainer toured all over the world throughout the course of his illustrious career, he called nearby Corona, Queens, home for the last 28 years of his life. Join Ricky Riccardi, Director of Research Collections at the Louis Armstrong House Museum and author of two Armstrong biographies, as he discusses Armstrong’s historic career, shows rare footage of the trumpeter in action, and describes the mission of the museum today as well as its future plans to celebrate the legacy of one of Queens’ greatest citizens. This program will be available on Zoom. Login information for Zoom will be sent to the email address associated with your Library card on the day of the event.
Coming in October Gatsby’s Gold Coast-How Long Island’s North Shore Inspired a Classic American Novel Tuesday, October 19 • 7:00-8:30pm Author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless 1925 masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, takes place on Long Island, “that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York.” Much of the book’s plot is set in “West Egg” and “East Egg,” fictional communities based upon the real towns of Long Island’s opulent Gold Coast. Fitzgerald drew inspiration for the book while living and socializing in the area during the early 1920s, often attending lavish parties hosted by the Gold Coast’s most prominent residents. Dr. David Alworth, Harvard research fellow, visiting professor of English at Stony Brook University, and editor of the forthcoming Norton Critical Edition of The Great Gatsby, will examine the history of Long Island’s Gold Coast, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time there and the ways in which his real-life experiences with the area’s people and places influenced the writing of this classic American novel.This program will be available on Zoom.
