Big Names Line Up for Library's Virtual Authors Night

The East Hampton Library's Authors Night fund-raiser will carry on, going virtual over four nights in August.

This year, because of pandemic restrictions on gatherings, the format will be one-on-one interviews with authors, an exception being Julie Andrews and Emma Walton Hamilton, who co-wrote a memoir of Ms. Andrews's career and life, "Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years." Bridget LeRoy will engage them in conversation on Aug. 7 at 4 p.m. Time for questions will follow each interview.

A Multicultural Unity Fest Comes to Southampton

The Southampton Arts Center will host a Unity Fest for the first time Sunday, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. The center’s grounds will be the scene of an array of multiculturally owned and run businesses and organizations, as well as musicians, motivational speakers, food, and art. 

The festival will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and that night at 8:40 the documentary "Killer Bees," featuring the Bridgehampton High School boys basketball team, will be screened, dedicated to the late Bobby Hopson, the team’s career scoring leader.
