Setauket, NY – January 25, 2022 –
Kids, get out your crayons and markers! Emma Clark Library is once again hosting a Bookmark Contest for children in the Three Village Central School District, Kindergarten through 6th grade. Winners receive the incredible honor of having their bookmarks professionally printed. Community members may then take home a copy of one or more of the winning bookmarks!
To pick up an Official Entry Form and Bookmark Template, kids may stop by the Children’s Reference Desk or download the form at kids.emmaclark.org. The entry deadline is March 31, 2022. Winners will be chosen in three categories (K – 2, 3rd & 4th, and 5th & 6th grades) and announced on Monday, May 2, 2022 to kick off Children’s Book Week. All contestants’ entries are displayed in the Children’s Department for visitors to view.
Last year’s winners were Aura Valdivia (Nassakeag Elementary) in the grades K – 2 category; Emma Yu (Nassakeag Elementary) in the grades 3 & 4 category; Joyce Lee (Mount Elementary) in the grades 5 & 6 category.
Each year the staff at the Library, along with the community, loves seeing the original and creative entries by Three Village children. The contest is fantastic inspiration to create…and of course, to read!

Historic Site Connected to the Culper Spy Ring Added to Emma Clark Library’s Museum Pass Collection
Setauket, NY – January 20, 2022 –
Emma Clark Library has recently added Raynham Hall Museum, located in Oyster Bay, to its very popular Museum Pass Collection. This museum complements the collection well and would be of particular interest to Three Village residents for its connection to the Culper Spy Ring, the group of George Washington’s spies during the American Revolution, which has strong roots in Setauket.
Raynham Hall Museum is the home of Robert Townsend (alias Samuel Culper, Jr.), one of the Culper Spy Ring agents. This engaging museum of history and espionage is open for docent-guided tours on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. It is open for self-guided tours, featuring an exciting, augmented reality experience on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays starting every hour from 1pm to 4pm.
Patrons who borrow a Museum Pass may receive free admission for two adults and two children (up to 17 years) for either a guided tour or self-guided tour in the education center. It also includes a 10% discount at the museum 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 now features 34 museums, gardens, historic sites, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City. The program encourages learning through experience and makes museum visits affordable for all. In 2021, there were 961 free museum visits for library patrons.
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.
The mission of Raynham Hall Museum is to enable visitors of the nearly 300-year-old Townsend family home in Oyster Bay to experience what it meant to be prominent merchants and heroic patriots, and to become engaged in the worlds of espionage, domestic life and the decorative arts. For more information on the Raynham Hall Museum, visit raynhamhallmuseum.org.
