National Library Week is here (April 7 – 13)!
Each year we celebrate National Library Week, which is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
In collaboration with the Town of Southold Youth Bureau and the East End Libraries we will be accepting donations of gently loved, clean, and modern prom dresses, accessories, handbags, or wraps for the months of March & April.
"By March, the worst of winter would be over.
The snow would thaw, the rivers begin to run
and the world would wake up into itself again."
Neil Gaiman
