Listen to the Newsletter
Beginning with the February 2010 issue, the Library newsletter is now available in audio format. A group of teen volunteers along with several of our librarians will record each issue so that anyone with low vision may listen to it instead of reading it. Just click on the "Current Newsletter" link on the left side of the homepage, and choose "Audio Newsletter". The recordings are divided into children's programs, young adult programs, and adult and senior services. You may listen to one section or all if you wish. Please let us know what you think of this new service by contacting Kitty Grinnell, 924-6400, ext. 244 or email kgrinnel@suffolk.lib.ny.us.

Important Message from the Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees of the Longwood Public Library is pleased to announce that they have purchased the three acre property adjacent to the library on the south side. This acquisition is a significant investment in the future of the library as well as the future of our community. This purchase was made from the Library Building Fund, and will have no impact on taxes.
Whether it is borrowing materials, using public computers, crafting, participating in the summer and winter reading clubs, attending concerts, book discussions and community group meetings, or learning new skills in our computer and instructional classes, residents of the Longwood community continue to use the Library’s many services in record numbers. The library’s circulation is the 4th highest in Suffolk County and attendance at library programs has doubled since 2000. Last year the library was visited by more than 1000 people per day. Over the past twenty years, the size of our community has increased along with the need for additional materials, classes, and programs. In order to meet current demand and provide for the future needs of our community, the Library Board of Trustees has begun to explore options for improving our facilities. Questions and comments are welcome. Please contact David Clemens, the Library Director, at 924-6400, ext. 275, or by e-mail at dclemens@suffolk.lib.ny.us.
