NEW in our Museum Pass Collection
Dog lovers will be “paws-itively” thrilled – the AKC Museum of the Dog was recently added to our “Museum Pass” collection!
The AKC Museum of the Dog boasts a combination of fine art, high-tech interpretive displays, and according to their website, “rotating exhibits featuring objects from its 1,700-piece collection and 4,000-volume library.” Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 2 children (12 and under) to the canine museum, located at 101 Park Avenue in New York City (the museum lists regular admission prices on their website as adults at $15, student/youth/seniors/active military and veterans at $10, and children at $5). Those with a pass not only get the advantage of visiting the museum for free, but also received a 10% discount to the museum gift shop. This pass is a “Print on Demand”, which means there is no need to pick up or return a physical pass to the Library. Users may print the pass from any computer, even from home. To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.
The Museum Pass program at Emma Clark Library features over 30 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.
Please note: Our Museum Pass collection is available to Three Village residents only.
Those who borrow passes through Emma Clark’s Museum Pass program are encouraged to share their adventures on social media with the hashtag #EmmaTakesMePlaces. Emma Clark Library may be found on Facebook @emmaclarklibrary, Instagram @emmaclarklibrary, or Twitter @ESCML.

Little Valentines: Baby Supplies Drive at Emma Clark Library
Setauket, NY – January 3, 2023 –
Valentine’s Day is not solely about romantic love; it can also be about spreading love for the community, and in particular, for those in need.
In honor of Valentine’s Day and the season of love, individuals may want to donate to Emma Clark Library’s Little Valentines: Baby Supplies Drive from Monday, January 30 – Sunday, February 26. The Library will be collecting new store-bought and hand-made baby clothes, as well as diapers, wipes, pacifiers, toys & other baby-related items for local organizations that help babies and their families. Diapers are one of the most requested items from homeless shelters and organizations, and they are a basic need for caregivers.
A table for the donated items will be located in the Library lobby to the left of the Circulation Desk, and all are welcome to donate (residents or nonresidents) during Library hours. Teen volunteers will be picking up the items and distributing them to various local organizations in need. These junior high and high school students earn community service credit for doing so.
Anyone that has questions about the Drives should contact askus@emmaclark.org. If you live in Three Village, are in grades 7 – 12, and would like to apply to become a Volunteer Teen Transporter, please visit teen.emmaclark.org/teen-transporters.
