Shed the Meds – Protect the Environment

The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office hosts this safe way to properly dispose of unused medications. Proper disposal is essential to protect the environment and ensure that old drugs don’t end up in the wrong hands. They will be located in the historic section of the Library to collect non-liquid drugs/medications on Tuesday, August 13, 2024 from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.

There is no registration required and all are welcome.

Please note: The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office cannot accept any liquids or needles of any kind. They are only accepting unused or expired medications from individuals (not large quantities from a doctor’s office or health care facility).

Video Games Now in Kids Dept!

We’re pleased to announce our new Video Game Collection in the Children’s Department…available NOW! This is in addition to the new Video Game Collection rolled out in the Teen Department this past summer.

Video and computer game playing, when practiced in moderation, has many benefits. While kids are gaming, they are also learning how to collaborate in a team, strategize, explore, make decisions, and take risks. The games help kids prepare for today’s fast-paced digital world. Video games can be fun and motivating, and along with books and traditional games, they are another method of educating our youth in the 21^st century.

We have games for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii, WiiU, Xbox360, and Xbox One, with popular titles such as Super Mario, Disney, Sesame Street, Lego, and EA Sports. Like movies, video games circulate for one week and may be renewed as long as no one else has reserved the game.

You may recommend games for the library to purchase; we’ll be accepting suggestions for games rated T or lower for both the Teen and Children’s Departments.

We also hold special Minecraft, Xbox, and WiiU programs throughout the year for both kids and teens in the Technology Center. All programs may be found in the printed newsletter, and you may register for them online under Programs.

If you have any questions about the new Video Game Collections, you may contact teens@emmaclark.org or kids@emmaclark.org.
