Mark your calendars for an evening of philanthropy and performance! Saturday, October 18th, we invite you to support the White Plains Library Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Celebration taking place right here at the White Plains Library. A celebration of community and creativity, Saturday Night – Live at the Library! will be an elegant evening of culture featuring a special author talk, an intimate art installation, and a vibrant jazz performance, directly contributing to the Foundation funding that sponsors our Library’s innovative and creative programming for all ages.

Saturday Night—Live at the Library! showcases a trio of New York talents across three genres: art, literature, and music. During cocktail hour, tour the art installation, “You’re From Where I’m From”, featuring work from Chioma “ChiChi” Nwana, a documentary photographer, photojournalist, and archivist based in White Plains with a rare chance to engage with the artist and her creative process. While taking in the sights of the Library’s Museum Art Gallery, experience the vibrant sounds of Yonkers’ own The Library Jazz Band, performing in a “Little Big Band” 7-piece ensemble, playing jazz and soul classics. Founded by a fellow Westchester Library Systems (WLS) partner, this music with a mission includes 2 saxophones, trombone, trumpet, piano, drums and bass.

A move to the mainstage will be met with captivating conversation with special guest Susan Morrison, the New York Times bestselling author of Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live. An acclaimed editor and journalist whose career has been spent chronicling the very best—and most famously guarded—of American culture, Susan takes us behind the curtain of Studio 8H to learn more about a cultural phenomenon. This is an event you won't want to miss.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience the magic of the library after hours. Your attendance at Saturday Night – Live at the Library! makes a tangible difference, directly funding the creative programming that defines the White Plains Library Foundation. Join fellow supporters for a night of literature, art, and jazz that proves a library is so much more than books. Get your tickets today and celebrate the spirit of innovation with us.
