BEANNACHT AT RED BANK PUBLIC LIBRARY

DON'T MISS ACOUSTIC SATURDAYS
AT THE RED BANK PUBLIC LIBRARY.
BEANNACHT IS HERE
SATURDAY JANUARY 29th, 2011.

Beannacht is the musical duo of guitarist/singer/songwriter Thomas Johnston and his niece, lead vocalist and lyricist Deirdre Forrest. They play a mix of Irish/Celtic, classic rock, folk, and blues, including original songs. Both musicians are heavily influenced by nearly all genres of music and especially enjoy being able to share their Irish culture through their music. Beannacht is a famous poem by Celtic writer and spiritualist John O'Donohughe and the word beannacht translates to "blessing" in the Irish form of the Gaelic language.

Ms Papandrea is replacing Deborah Griffin-Sadel, Director for 12 years who is leaving to pursue a new opportunity. Ms Papandrea will start January 18th and be acting director during the time that a search committee, consisting of members of the Library Board of Trustees, community and staff, need to hire a permanent director.


The Board wants to assure the patrons of the Library that services and hours of operation will not be affected by this change in personnel and that they look forward to continuing and improving the vital role of the Library in Red Bank.
