Piano Donated to LibraryThe library received the most unexpected of phone calls last month: legendary island pianist David Crohan wished to donate his Mason & Hamlin grand piano to an island community organization, and his longtime friend David Stanwood suggested the perfect place - the Edgartown Library. This marvelous gift (pictured here) was delivered to the library's program room in mid-September, and we await the opportunity to gather and connect through the power of music.
Thank you, Mr. Crohan |
