We Have BIG NEWS!

HPL to Return to County Catalog in November
cb
In November, we will once again be a member of the Partnership of Automated Libraries in Suffolk (PALS) and patrons will be able to borrow and pick up materials from neighboring libraries more easily. While we will strive to keep service disruption to a minimum during the transition, there will be limited services to patrons for a short time. In September, patrons will be restricted from placing holds in the LI LINK Catalog.
Reference staff will assist patrons in acquiring materials for you from neighboring libraries. Patron Reading Histories will be lost in October. Librarians will be able to help anyone who wishes to get a copy of their current reading history. Once the migration of all data is complete in November...
The Devil in New York: The Witchcraft Trial of Goody Garlick with Scholar Tara Rider
human
Wednesday, October 5 • 7:00 pm • Main Meeting Room
Register using code HMA984
The most famous American witch-hunt began in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. Yet, more than three decades before that notorious event, Long Island had its very own witchcraft trial – the trial of Goody Garlick! Accusations of flying on poles and cavorting with the Devil ran rampant in the colonies during the 17th century and led to hundreds of accusations of witchcraft. Scholar Tara Rider explains the stresses of ordinary 17th century life in New York and why the fear of witches existed. The trial of Goody Garlick will act as a lens to understand the hysteria associated with these accusations. Dr. Rider is the Director of Stony Brook University’s International Academic programs to both Ireland and England and has taught a wide range of history courses, including Long Island history. This program is sponsored by the New York State Council for the Humanities, Scholars Program.   Registration required. Open to all.

 

As Fall Approaches...

back to schoolHello to all! It seems like the summer just gets underway and before we know it fall and Back-to-School time is upon us! This past summer was very busy with programs and we were happy to see some patrons enjoying the library during our open Friday evenings.

With September being Library Card Sign-up month, I’d like to personally invite anyone who does not have a library card to come in and get one. We have many electronic and downloadable resources available to you in addition to our print items that you can access with your library card. Anyone who gets a new card, or just shows us their current card, will get a free gift from the library! Please ask at the Circulation Desk in either building.

Once again, we’ll be participating in the Huntington Awareness Day, also known as Unity in the Community, on Saturday, September 10th at Jack Abrams School. We will also be joining our neighboring Huntington area libraries with a table at the Fall Festival on October 8th and 9th. We hope to see many of you at these wonderful community events.

Lastly, please see the article on this page about our transition back into the Partnership of Automated Libraries in Suffolk (PALS) consortium. This is a very exciting move for us and should help make your library experience easier and more convenient!

Please feel free to contact me at any time: 631-427-5165, x 206 or by email: .
