Help Our Furry Friends

We’re once again participating in The Great Give Back, a Suffolk Cooperative Library System initiative to provide opportunities for library patrons to participate in meaningful, service-oriented activities. Ours is a Pet theme… help support our furry friends!

For Everyone

Pet Supplies Drive, October 6 – 31
We’re collecting new pet supplies (food, blankets, leashes, cleaning supplies, etc.) in the Library lobby to be donated to local organizations that help pets in need. All are welcome to donate (residents or non-residents) during Library hours.
