The Jupiter Hammon Project and Joseph Lloyd Manor (In-Person)
Tuesday, April 14, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.
Explore the life of the first published Black American poet, Jupiter Hammon, who was enslaved by the Lloyd family on Long Island. Born in 1711, Hammon witnessed the growth of the American colonies, the Revolutionary War, and the founding of the United States. His essays and poems offer powerful insights into the moral conflicts between liberty and slavery and raise questions about resistance, authorship, and the path towards justice. Presented by Andrew Tharler of Preservation Long Island. The Jupiter Hammon Project is a major initiative to develop a more relevant and equitable interpretation of Joseph Lloyd Manor, one of Preservation Long Island’s historic houses located in the Town of Huntington. Open to all (residents and non-residents). Click here to register now.
Poetry Writing Workshop: Where is My Longing? (In-Person)
Saturday, April 25, 10:30 a.m. – 12 noon
Join author and poet Ramya Ramana for this guided workshop to explore the origins and core of our longings. Longing is the language of the soul— its desires, where it is unsatisfied and where it finds its satisfaction. The workshop will consist of writing prompts, discussion and a time for optional sharing. This will be a safe space for writers of all levels. Open to all (residents and non-residents).

Navy Seal Museum Added to Library’s Museum Pass Collection
Setauket, NY – January 15, 2025 –
Emma Clark has recently added The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum to the Library’s widely used Museum Pass Collection.
This interactive museum, located in West Sayville, is dedicated to the commemoration and storytelling of the U.S. Navy SEAL community and includes a movie theater and SEAL simulation ride. Three Village residents may borrow a pass for free admission for 2 adults and 4 children (under 18 years old). To reserve a pass, Library cardholders may visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes. This pass is “Print & Go”, which means patrons may print it from any computer (there is no need to pick up a physical pass from the library).
The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum complements the nearby Long Island Maritime Museum, which is also located in West Sayville and a part of Emma Clark’s Museum Pass Collection.
In 2024, there were 2,615 free museum visits for Three Village residents, thanks to Emma Clark Library’s Museum Pass collection. The program features close to 40 museums, gardens, historic sites, family-friendly attractions, and cultural institutions on Long Island and in New York City.

The LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum tells the story, sacrifices, and legacies of the Special Operators of Naval Special Warfare Command from the frogman and Underwater Demolition teams of WWII and Korea to the birth of the SEALs in Vietnam, the War on Terror, Operation Redwings, and an exhibition hall dedicated solely to the SEAL Training program. There are seven exhibition halls including a movie theater and a SEAL simulation ride to give the public a glimpse into the stories and lives of these very special men and heroes.
