Great news! Hoopla was just added to our digital collection of ebooks, movies, music, audiobooks, and TV shows!

Hoopla titles may be streamed immediately to a Library cardholder’s computer, phone, tablet, or smart TV. This is an “on demand” service –there are no holds, and there is no waiting for a book, movie, TV show or song to become available! Using the app on a mobile device (phone or tablet), titles can be downloaded for offline access.

Hoopla may be accessed right from our website, alongside the other digital content: emmaclark.org/downloads. The free app is available for iPhones and Androids. Patrons are allowed to stream up to 5 titles per month.

Free Access to NY State Parks and Beaches

The New York State Empire Pass brings free entry to most NY state parks. No need to pay for the pass – library cardholders may borrow it from us!

This pass allows for free admission for one vehicle to any New York State park. Empire Passes are part of our Museum Pass Lending Program ― the loan period is seven days (choose the dates you want to use it!). Reserve the pass for the desired pickup date. Enjoy time at the park – hike, swim, play, and learn through new experiences! Then simply return the pass by its due date (an hour before Library closing). The pass is due 7 days after the reserved pickup date. Click here for more details and information on how to reserve a pass.

The New York State Empire Pass may be used at over 100 parks – including beaches, trails, and more – throughout the entire state. On Long Island alone, there are 27 parks that accept the pass, including Bethpage State Park, Brookhaven State Park, Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, Captree State Park, Heckscher State Park, Jones Beach State Park, Montauk Point State Park, Nissequogue River State Park, Robert Moses State Park, Sunken Meadow State Park, and many others (for a full listing of the parks that accept the pass, visit parks.ny.gov/parks/).

We’re proud to offer this ticket to the great outdoors. Get moving and get exploring, thanks to your library card!

Please note: The Empire Pass Card is a day-use vehicle entry to most facilities operated by New York State Parks and the State Department of Environmental Conservation including forests, beaches, trails and more. It is usable for all motor vehicles except those used in the business of transporting passengers for hire including public or private buses, shuttles, taxis, limousines, or other livery vehicles. It does not guarantee free vehicle entry into the park when special events occur and are operated by other organizations. It excludes camping, overnight parking, golf, museum or historic site admission and other special activity fees.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!

Need some ideas of what to do when it’s freezing outdoors? You’re in the right place!

– Come to the Library to play – We gave games, toys, and puzzles for all ages, Playstix, and of course the popular train table. Osmo (“Play Beyond the Screen”) is always available for kids and is a combination of a digital experience and tangible play. We also have Imagination Playground (“Big Blue Blocks”) in our program room for kids to play with, whenever a class is not in session.

– Borrow a Playaway Launchpad for your child – These are tablets pre-loaded with educational apps appropriate for your kid. They are 100% secure and do not have Internet connectivity. Patrons do not have to install parental controls or worry about their children being exposed to unintended or inappropriate content. They now have new, sturdier cases too. Look for the bright orange packaging in the Children’s Department!

– Stay inside and watch movies –

- Our new “Binge Boxes” include 4 – 6 DVDs that share themes such as “Romantic Comedies”, “Based on a Book”, “Sports on Screen”, “Courtroom Drama”, “Family Movie Night”, “Fright Night”, “Classic Films”, “Marvel Superheroes”, and “British Favorites.” You can find them in main reading room.
- Stream movies directly to your computer, phone, tablet or smart TV through Hoopla or Kanopy. Click here to get started.

– And of course, read a book! (We couldn’t be the Library and not mention that!)
