Some Highlights for this month...

Along with books, story times, crafts, classes... the library also has a great service of giving out museum passes.  Want to go to the Long Island Science Museum or Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum or the Old Westbury Gardens for free?  There are many more places to see with help from the library.  Below are the links to our libraries where you can reserve passes, register for story times and check out their hours at your home library.
