The 2022 Summer Reading Program “Oceans of Possibilities” was a great success. We offered many wonderful programs, and the kids had a great time. Thank you to the following sponsors who helped make this program possible: Friends of the Williston Park Library, Rotary Club of Williston Park, Haller-Zaremba Agency, American Legion Post #144, Chamber of Commerce of the Willistons, Weigand Brothers Funeral Home, Frantoni’s, Hilderbrandt’s, Gelateria dei Coltelli, Gino’s Pizzeria, Wendy’s Dunkin’ Donuts & Carvel. Thank you to Solomon Schechter School for the use of their parking lot for our Kickoff event.
The library still has multiple copies of books for St. Aidan’s summer reading. They are on carts in the main reading room, with signs designating grade.
If you’ve borrowed a museum pass, we ask that it be returned in the library by 10am on the due date to ensure timely pick up for the next patron on the waiting list. If you wish to return the pass prior to the due date and the library is closed, please put in the book drop. We appreciate your cooperation.
The library is distributing Covid-19 self-test kits while supplies last.
New titles added to the collection:
School for German Brides—Aimie Runyan
Portrait of an Unknown Woman—Daniel Silva
Big Dark Sky—Dean Koontz
Chrysalis—Lincoln Child
Best is yet to Come—Debbie Macomber
