POETRY IN THE PLAZA
Starting this spring and being displayed monthly throughout the year, the Village will be brightened by the addition of poetry selections placed inside various sign posts throughout the Plaza, at Village hall and on the bulletin board inside of the ticket building at the LIRR train station.
There will be a new poem presented each month and it will be graphically displayed to attract people to stop and read them while walking our streets. colors and style of graphics will vary with each season. "this program, another cultural arts project presented by the Village, is to promote the arts and bring literature to life for our residents. We hope you read and enjoy them" said Deputy Mayor Rosen
