Dedicated and artistically inclined Teen Volunteers are needed to create the Library’s Scarecrow for the Stony Brook Village Scarecrow Competition! Teens will work together with Librarian Emily and Library Page Kiera to build a scarecrow, which will be displayed at the Stony Brook Village for the month of October. Visitors to Stony Brook Village have the opportunity to vote for their favorite scarecrow; hopefully it’s ours!
