The Great Giveback 2018
The Great Give Back is a community service initiative involving all Suffolk County libraries. The mission is to provide opportunities for the patrons of our libraries to participate in meaningful experiences as a way to give back to their communities.
Please join us during the month of October when we'll be collecting NEW socks for people in shelters and/or veteran homes. The socks can be for children or adults. There will be collection boxes in both of our buildings. Visit Youth & Parent Services to make craft packets for children in Huntington Hospital.
