Currently on display for the month of April on our main floor is the exhibit “Censorship in Schools and Libraries.” This travelling illustrated journal about the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and its significance in public libraries and public schools is an educational project developed by the Long Island Coalition Against Censorship. The exhibit documents 32 important incidents of censorship in public libraries and public schools that have occurred nationally.

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the air is cold, the wind is fierce…yes it is March. If your cabin fever is getting unbearable – head to the library for an outing. Browse through our collection of gardening books to get in the mood for warmer weather. Find a great book to get you through the tail end of winter. Check out some dvds for a movie night. Bring along a buddy or two and play one of our board games. Use one of our computers, or bring your laptop and use our wifi Internet connection. Sit and read a magazine or just enjoy the beautiful view of the Hudson River. Or just visit with the friendly librarians. We’ll be looking for you.
