On Friday, June 28, 2019, the library purchased the former Mastic Beach Village Hall building at 369 Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach. Library management, staff and library board trustees are in the process of developing a comprehensive program for this annex location to serve the needs of the community. We will be seeking input from the residents of the area to be sure our plans meet their needs. In conjunction with annex program planning, arrangements are being made for the necessary permits to begin renovation of the Neighborhood Road building. Architect Rick Wiedersum is assisting with the exterior/interior renovation plan and a functional room design layout that supports the program plan.

The library board has formally requested the assistance of Suffolk County to acquire the property directly across the street from the future Mastic Beach annex through a title transfer. The property was taken for unpaid back taxes and is county owned. It has the potential to become a park or outdoor space for library programming. We are hopeful that the library will be successful in acquiring this property at “no cost.”

Regarding the library’s main facility at 407 William Floyd Parkway, Shirley, architect Wiedersum is reviewing existing building conditions and developing a concept plan for possible renovation and improvement of the structure, including required asbestos abatement. To ensure that the program plan fulfills the needs of our local residents and library users, Dr. Richard Hawkins (a former William Floyd School District superintendent) is assisting the library with community presentations to obtain input/feedback. The first of a series of presentations took place on June 17 at the library board meeting. Video of that presentation is available on the library website at https://www.communityLibrary.org/about-us/board-meetings/public-forum-recordings/

The next presentation regarding the library facility will take place at the library on Monday, August 26, at 7:00 p.m. We encourage your ongoing involvement by attending our monthly board meetings/public forums. If you have questions or suggestions for us, please email library director Kerri Rosalia at krosalia@communityLibrary.org or call 631-399-1511, x200.

Have you visited the Library’s Technology Center in the Mastic Recreation Center at 15 Herkimer Drive? It features 23 desktop computers, high-speed internet access and printing capability. The center offers educational opportunities for adults, teens and children, including classes in 3D printing, video game design, coding and more. This location is a wonderful supplement to the digital services provided at the main library facility. Residents visiting the center may also learn about the full slate of library services, apply for a library card and return materials at a book drop conveniently located on-site.
