Two Winter Traditions in the Children’s Department at Emma Clark
Setauket, NY – January 9, 2020 –
Two events have become winter staples in the Children’s Department at Emma Clark Library, and kids are invited to join the fun!
Score a touchdown with football-themed festivities on Saturday, February 1, known as “Super Bowl Saturday” at Emma Clark. Simply stop by between the hours of 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. for games and a chance to win a special raffle prize. The Library staff encourages visitors to wear a shirt or jersey with their favorite football team (although not required).
During the school winter recess, on Thursday, February 20, there will be lots of extra excitement in the children’s library. Emma Clark will once again participate in the annual “Take Your Child to the Library Day”, first started in 2012 and now an international movement to raise awareness and to celebrate families taking their kids to the local library. Between 2:00 – 4:00 p.m., children and caregivers are invited to drop in for carnival games, face painting, temporary tattoos, balloon sculpting, crafts and more. Plus, each new library card sign-up on February 20 will be entered in a raffle. Library cards are for any age! Parents can get a card for their young one as soon as they are born and immediately start enjoying the Library’s resources, such as the “Time for Baby” and “Baby Start Story Time” classes.
There is no registration for either of these events, and families with kids (up to 6th grade) are welcome.
If you have any questions, please email kids@emmaclark.org or call 631.941.4080 ext. 123.
The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and on the web at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.

New Online Learning
The foundation of any library is its role as a reputable & trustworthy educational resource; for a 21st century library, that includes online learning. We’ve recently expanded our online learning collection with three new, online platforms. You’ll be able to watch free, high-quality instructional videos from anywhere, whether at home or in the Library.
– Hoonuit (pronounced “Who-Knew-It”) – on-demand video training for more than 500 software applications, including Microsoft Word and Excel, Adobe Photoshop and Dreamweaver, Final Cut Pro, Social Media, WordPress, GoogleDocs and more. These short tutorials are perfect for those looking for a “snip-it” of information.
– Universal Class – an online learning platform with in-depth courses on a wide-variety of subjects. The classes may be taken at the user’s pace, and there is also the benefit of interacting with a live instructor via email. There are over 500 courses on a multitude of topics such as accounting, career training, health & medicine, DIY, medical billing, pet care, psychology, real estate, special education, and test preparation, just to name a few.
– CreativeBug – an arts & crafts instructional resource with over 1,000 award-winning video classes taught by recognized design experts and artists. Whether a person is making a collage, sewing, knitting, using the Cricut machine, or working on any other arts and crafts project, CreativeBug is sure to help.
These new, online learning resource may be accessed anytime and from anywhere at emmaclark.org/you-beyond.
We’re thrilled to start off 2020 with these creative and informative tools for the Three Village community!

“Predicting the Presidential Election” – Lecture on 12/5/19 – Facebook Live Stream
Due to the popularity of our sold out lecture, “Predicting the Presidential Election”, we live streamed it on our Facebook page on Thursday, December 5 at 7:00 p.m.
Check out the video here:
A bit about the lecture:
Helmut Norpoth, Professor in the Department of Political Science at Stony Brook University, accurately predicted with his primary model Donald Trump’s victory in the last presidential election as early as February 2016. He will explain how the model worked, and he will offer a tentative forecast of the 2020 election outcome.
