The Floral Park Library hit a Facebook milestone recently – we earned our 2,500th “Like.”
Thank you to everyone who visits, presents, participates, volunteers, or stops in to chat with staff. Undoubtedly, some of the newest “Likes” responded to the almost 500 people who turned out for July’s lawn concert featuring BonJourney.
Over the Summer, the Library made a few changes and a few additions. New doors were installed on the main level, allowing for a small meeting space, and a new 60+-inch Smartboard was installed in that room. At the Circulation Desk, there’s a new digital display monitor that keeps patrons updated on what’s happening at the Library.
It’s a busy September at the Library. The Friends of the Floral Park Library are bringing their popular lawn sale back to the corner of Tulip Avenue and Caroline Place on Saturday, Sept. 21 (rain date: Saturday, Oct. 5).
The Floral Park Library Urban Explorers are headed to Fraunces Tavern for their September outing after visiting the Brooklyn Historical Society in July.
The library plans a trip to Greenport Village and the Pindar Winery in mid-September.
This month, the younger set can enjoy Play Hooray, and A Time For Kids Baby Start and Family Pre-school Hour, along with Play Pals (18 months – Preschool), and a Halloween Lantern Craft with Miss Michele from Through the Looking Glass (grades 3 – 5).
