From the Director’s Desk

Dear Patrons:

COVID19 Library

As we begin this new year, it is my sincere wish that your library will continue to be a part of your lives in all the ways that work for you. Every day continues to be a challenge for all of us, and I hope that you can find some comfort in knowing that we are here to help you whether it be in person, virtually, or through our online resources.

We are continuing to offer more in-person classes and programs, while keeping the safety of our patrons and staff in mind. We are also helping people who need a place to hold online appointments. Do you need to attend a virtual, individual meeting or interview and do not have access from home? Please call or stop in to either building and we can help you reserve a computer.

Some of the changes we have made in offering our programs and services to you have inspired us to consider all the possibilities for the future of our library. We are especially excited to be arranging for longevity at our Station Branch facility and are close to making that happen. Please watch for an exciting announcement soon!

I know this continues to be a difficult time for many people. If there is anything that we can do to help anyone, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at 631-427-5165, ext. 206 or email me at .

Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year!

Warm Regards,

– Joanne Adam, Library Director
