“Thank you to all the visitors who stopped the library’s booth at the Williston Park Street Fair,” Donna McKenna, director of the Williston Park Public Library, said. “Your support of the library and the Friends group is truly appreciated. Sending a huge thank you to Steve Shelley and DPW for setting up our area at the fair and bringing tables, chairs and books. Thank you also to the awesome Williston Park Library staff who donated their time help out at the booth. It certainly ‘takes a village.'”
