This past year the Library increased the number of computers available for adults from 13 to 32. A grant was secured to renovate the Children’s Room and to refurbish the circulation desk. During the coming year the Library plans to continue to reconfigure the adult area to provide more effective service.
For Everyone…
Book clubs include Talking About Literature, the Oprah Book Club, Soul with Heart, and Grupo de Conversación de Libros Latinos.
Electronic resources include over fifty subscription databases, including downloadable videos and audiobooks accessible from home through the Library’s website: www.nassaulibrary.org/freeport
For Children and Parents…
Programs include museum passes, tutoring, reading clubs, and parent/child workshops.
For Young Adults…
Programs for students in grades 7-12 include book, music, and film discussion groups, and a
summer reading club.
The support and guidance of volunteers – including the Board of Trustees, the Friends of the Library, and the Art and Music Advisory Committees – make these programs and services possible. Every Freeporter is encouraged to use the Library. The Library is open 7 days a week during most of the year, and 6 days a week during the summer.
The $149,609 (2.77%) overall increase will be funded by the Board using Capital Improvement funds. The proposed budget represents no increase to the taxpayer.
