Warm New Year’s wishes to our community! Make a New Year’s resolution to visit your community library once a week and explore all the wonderful resources and programs we have to offer!
I am proud to announce that our library has won first place in the 2024 Suffolk County Library Marketing Award (SLMA) for our program, American Girl Celebratory Tea and Author Talk. Congratulations to the incredible team- Sara Colichio, Sharon Twickler, Marissa Timm, Jerry Matovcik, JoAnne Hruz and Diana Foster - whose hard work and creativity made this award possible.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to our newest staff member, Martha Terry! Martha has joined us as our new Adult Programming Coordinator, and we’re excited about the engaging events and initiatives she’ll bring to our community.
We are also proud to recognize local Girl Scouts Hannah and Remi for earning their Silver Award with an incredible project unveiled at the library. Their two works of art educate our community about the impact of marine debris on our beaches and waterways. Stop by to see these meaningful creations and be inspired by their message of environmental awareness. Thank you, Hannah and Remi, for your dedication to making a difference!

He will discuss his latest publication, All That Remains, which chronicles the lives of the last migrant workers in Cutchogue, NY, through first-person accounts of their experiences in the local farming community.
