From now through August 28, please stop by to participate in the “Tell Congress Not to Defund Libraries” campaign. Take action for libraries by reminding your Senators and Representatives on both sides of the aisle how important libraries are to the residents of Suffolk County.

Visit the table in our Lobby to fill out a postcard which we’ll deliver to your to local representatives urging them to support funding for libraries by protecting IMLS (the Institute for Museum and Library Services) and E-rate, both of which directly impact our local libraries.

Do you remember Bohack’s?

This week’s photo comes from a 1952 field trip. Teacher Harriet Wittemeier led Port Jefferson High School students to the Bohack supermarket down port.
