Congratulations !
Newly re-elected Library Trustee
Elen Levitt

To all our Patrons:
We are pleased to report that we are making great progress
towards re-opening the Library.  The carpet has been delivered ahead of schedule
and is currently being installed.  Once the installation is complete, the Library will be
able to commence the process of putting in the shelves and re-shelving the books.

Due to the strides we have made in the construction, all Library employees
are now able to work from the Library as they assist in the re-opening efforts. 
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Nassau Library System (NLS)
for providing the Library with an interim facility from which to work until
our employees were able to return to the Library. 

We will continue to issue updates regarding our progress and are very much
looking forward to re-opening the Library's doors to the community soon.




A few items to note:

         We are not able to process return items at this time.  

o    Return dates on all circulating items have been extended to May 31, 2013. 

o   You can return Island Park Library items to any library in Nassau County or you can hold on to the items until we reopen our doors.

 

         Please do not leave donations outside the building.

o    We are not in a position to process additional books at this time. 

o   When we complete the assessment of our collection we will better determine what items have been lost and proceed to replace the items by title.

Thank you for your continued patience and support,
 we all look forward to seeing you again soon!
