It is wonderful to be back in the building and it’s so nice to see many of you again! Although we are operating a little differently during this time, we are committed to providing our community with the best customer service. I thank you for your patience, cooperation and ongoing support. If you haven’t gotten in to see us yet, please do so! We’ve missed you!

We are presently in Phase 3 of our reopening plan with some modification of our facilities, services and hours. I do not know when we will move to Phase 4, which will lessen the modifications we have in place. Our virtual programs will continue throughout the end of the year.

Along with not increasing our budget for this year, the Board of Trustees voted to eliminate fines on all books and media! You will still be billed for an item if it becomes long overdue, but once returned, no fines will be charged. This may not hold true if you borrow an item that comes from another library. It will depend on their individual loan rule.

I know this has been a very 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 .

If I can be of help to you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 631-427-5165, ext. 206 or email me at .

Wishing you all a happy and healthy fall season!
