Dear Residents,
Change is the constant. There is no status quo in our lives. Every day is filled with opportunities to explore, experience, and expand our horizons. Your library is continuously innovating programs and anticipating your interests.
We are adding iPads in the Children’s Library. Now, the little ones can access the best entertaining and educational apps for their personal enrichment. Look for the list of apps the librarians have selected. Also, stop by later this month and see a 3D printer in action. The regional library system purchased the 3D printer to circulate throughout Suffolk County. Curious about the technology? Come to the library for a demo on Wednesday, November 19 from 4:00-6:00 p.m.
Our new Signature Events have been very well attended. The computer classes for adults are very popular, with lots of raves from the participants. Stop by the Information Services Desk and tell the librarians your suggestions for future computer classes. Next up are two cultural events. First, the Serenade Duo will make a return visit on Sunday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m. Second, a premier holiday event for all ages, “The Nutcracker Act II,” will be here at the library on Sunday, December 7 at 3:00 p.m.
We joyfully seek partnership opportunities with cultural and educational organizations. For over a decade, the last page of every newsletter has included events and services. Visit our website to learn more about the growing Museum Passes program and the next Community Conversation, a moderated discussion about the Common Core, which will be held at the South Huntington Public Library on November 12 at 7:00 p.m. A panel of regional experts will educate the audience and then take your questions.
Once again, the Library Foundation has inserted a donation envelope into the year-end issue of the newsletter. Funds from the foundation enable your public library to offer special events for all ages. Save the capital gains, and consider donating appreciated securities. A stock transfer form may be found on our website. All donations are tax-deductible and really make a difference. Thank you.
My very best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season. I hope to catch you reading.
See you very soon!
