Important Changes to Online Resources

Lynda.com to be Discontinued

Lynda.com has transitioned to LinkedIn Learning. As part of that migration, all users — including those who access the database through a library subscription — will be required to create or connect to a LinkedIn profile. Library users will have their full name publicly searchable on Google and the LinkedIn platform. This requirement violates the American Library Association’s (ALA) Code of Ethics and the Library Bill of Rights, which protects your privacy and confidentiality when using library materials.

We will be discontinuing our relationship with Lynda / LinkedIn learning as of January 1, 2020. If you have completed any courses on Lynda.com and wish to retain proof of that, please make sure to download your certificates before that date. If you have any questions about this, please contact Thérèse Purcell Nielsen, Department Head of Adult and Reference Services at .

Important Changes to eBook Resources

Demand #eBooksforAll!

Due to restrictions placed by some publishers on the ability of libraries to acquire new e-books we may not be able to obtain some new e-book titles for you until several months after they are released.

Happy Holidays!

joanne 2019

Greetings! As you have probably already noticed, we made changes to our newsletter and I hope you like what you see! Based on feedback we received from patrons, and the fact that we have so much information to share with you, we added more pages while reducing the overall size and cost. Our paper stock has also changed. Our newsletter now consists of 30% recycled paper.

Happy Thanksgving!

Thank you all for your patience during the roof project at both of our buildings. The Station Branch was completed at the beginning of the summer and the Main Street building was just completed this fall. I know it is not easy when construction work is being done, but it is necessary work and I appreciate your understanding.

I’d also like to thank everyone who participated in our Volunteer Fair for The Great Give Back! We had over 25 organizations participate. I am constantly amazed at the generosity of our patrons, which can easily be seen by your community spirit and willingness to donate your time and talents.

Season's Greetings!

You may also have seen us out in the community as we visited all the schools during Meet the Teacher nights; participated in Huntington Awareness Day, the Draw Out event sponsored by the Heckscher Museum, and joined our neighboring libraries at the Fall Festival in Heckscher Park.

This year, the annual holiday parade and festival will take place on Saturday, November 30th. Please join us at the library before the parade for arts and crafts in the children’s room.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy holiday season!  Please feel free to contact me by phone: (631) 427-5165, ext. 206 or by email: .

– Joanne Adam, Library Director
