Welcome to Our New Trustee!

Kimberly A. Hawkins
Welcome to Kimberly A. Hawkins, our newest member of the Huntington Public Library Board of Trustees! Kimberly is a longtime Huntington resident, where she graduated from Huntington High School, moved to Washington, D.C. for college and returned to Huntington Station in 2007 where she now resides with her husband and son. She is active in her community as a PTA parent, a mentor in the Huntington School District, champion for Source the Station, a member of Bethel AME Church and the Huntington Station Business Incubator.

Professionally, Kimberly works as a Public Accountant and a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) which gives her a wealth of experience from the corporate environment that she brings to the Library Board. Kimberly says, “Libraries are the driving force behind a literate and educated community.” She is delighted and thankful for the opportunity to donate her time and talent on our Board of Trustees as a way to give back to our community. She is committed to working cooperatively with the board and staff to support the maintenance and growth of the library.
Warm Summer Wishes!

joanne adamHello and happy summer to all! As you start to think about your summer vacation and family activities, please remember, in addition to the MUSEUM PASSES we circulate, the library also sells DISCOUNTED TICKETS to some area attractions. 

Just a reminder, we are keeping our Main Street building open on Sundays this summer from 1:00-5:00 pm. We all seem to lead such busy lives; I’m hoping this helps to make your library more convenient for you.

This past spring, we participated in some community events including an Earth Day Celebration and The Tulip Festival at Heckscher Park, as well as Relay for Life at Huntington High School. We enjoy participating in these events and it’s always nice to see our patrons when we are out and about.

Our Summer Reading Club theme, Build a Better World, has me thinking about all the different ways we can each do our part to help make our world a better place. If each of us could do one special thing to build a better world, think of how great our world could be!  Our Summer Reading Clubs are available for ADULTS, TEENS and CHILDREN.  I hope you have a wonderful summer and will consider joining one of our reading clubs. While you think about how to build a better world, take advantage of your library and use our resources to help become a better you!

Please feel free to contact me at any time: (631) 427-5165, x 206 or by email at .
