Dear Patrons:

As a new year begins, I think we can all agree that we are ready to turn the page and begin a new chapter in our lives with hopes and dreams that better days are coming. Although the library is offering programs and services a little differently, we are still here to assist you in wherever your interests lie. Perhaps you can learn a new skill, visit a new place, try a new food, set a new goal, and achieve a new accomplishment! Maybe you have already learned how to Zoom! This past year has certainly been a challenging one and I continue to offer my thanks for your ongoing cooperation and understanding.

Despite all the hardships of this past year, our community continues to show its compassion and generosity by repeatedly filling our donation bins. Our Masks & Mittens Tree was overflowing with donations and we made several trips to drop off donations for our Veterans. I cannot thank you enough for your contributions.

I know this continues to be a 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 .

A new year is like a blank notebook and the pen is in our hands. This is our chance to write a beautiful story for ourselves. Let’s make it a good one! Wishing you all a very happy and healthy new year!

– Joanne Adam, Library Director
