Help Us Recycle

In collaboration with Suffolk Library System, we’re participating in the NexTrex Community Recycling Challenge. Simply deposit your plastic film (e.g. plastic bags, bread bags, etc.) in the bin located in the Library’s vestibule.

Good news! We’ve reached our goal! Our community collected and recycled 1,000+ pounds. The Library will receive a free bench made from these materials. Although we’ve reached our goal, we’re continuing to collect and recycle!

Here is what is accepted:

Latest Addition to Museum Passes

We’ve 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). 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.

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 and Instagram @emmaclarklibrary.

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.
