Library Update
2014 Annual Report to the Community
It’s been a great year for the Longwood Public Library, as we watch our library transform
and grow into a high performance building and a true community center. Staff have
been busy offering programs and services from our temporary location in the King Kullen
shopping center, as well as program sites around the district. But we are all looking
forward to spring, followed by our late summer move back to our “home”. We will hold
our Annual Budget Vote & Trustee Election on Tuesday, April 14, 8:00 am – 9:00 pm.
The budget information meeting is Wednesday, March 18 at 7:00 pm, and the proposed
budget will be available at the library by March 1. The Board of Trustees is pleased to
announce there will be no override of the state tax cap this year. If you have any
questions about the budget or the library, please contact the library director, Suzanne
Johnson, 924-6400 x275 or by email suzanne@longwoodlibrary.org.
2014 The Year in Review
• Expansion and renovation of the library proceeded full steam ahead!
• Successfully sold our bonds at a very competitive rate under 3%, which will
save substantial interest over the life of the bond.
• Continued to serve the public from our temporary location
• Offered programs for all ages in numerous locations around the district
• Expanded outreach to additional sites: Leisure Knoll & Meadowbrook Pointe Links
• Added new museum passes, including the Fire Island Lighthouse & Safari Adventure
A Few Statistics from 2014
• There are 48,375 cardholders and 305,910 annual visitors to the library
• More than 637,000 items were checked out
• Patrons downloaded more than 40,000 free ebooks, a 17% increase over 2013
• Librarians conducted over 300 one-on-one technology help sessions
• Free museum passes were borrowed 1061 times, saving taxpayers $35,000
We Need Your Support
Your support in 2015-2016 will help us expand our current level of services and
programs when we return to our renovated facility.
Watch for a special budget mailing in late March.

Inside the building, much progress has been made. Tan-colored
spray foam insulation can be seen here along the walls and on the
ceiling of the new auditorium. Also visible in the photo are a stack of
“borrowed light” frames – interior windows that will allow daylight to
pass through the building. Two important features of the transformed
library will be natural light and improved energy efficiency!

single most important thing to prepare a child for
reading and learning. The Read Aloud 15 Minutes national
campaign promotes parents reading aloud to their children at
least 15 minutes every day starting at birth.
Parents are children’s first and most important teachers.

Man’s best friend can do a

Research now suggests that dogs
can actually help children learn to read. Come
meet Karen Maier and one of her certified therapy
dogs for a 15-minute reading session. For young
children one of the big challenges in learning to
read is the embarrassment of making mistakes.
Reading to dogs provides a simple solution: a nonjudgmental, comforting furry friend who “listens”
and takes the pressure off of the child as he learns
to read. This program will be a “drop-in” for any
child who is a reader through grade 6. Karen will
be here beginning at 4:30 pm with the last session
beginning no later than 5:45 pm. (LWJ905)

The Secrets of Mary Bowser by Lois Leveen
Thursday, March 19 at 3:15 pm
All her life, Mary has been a slave to the wealthy Van Lew family of Richmond,
Virginia. But when Bet, the willful Van Lew daughter, decides to send Mary to
Philadelphia to be educated, she must leave her family to seize her freedom. Life in
the North brings new friendships, a courtship and a far different education than Mary
ever expected, one that leads her into the heart of the abolition movement. With the
nation edging toward war, she defies Virginia law by returning to Richmond to care for
her ailing father and to fight for emancipation. Posing as a slave in the Confederate
White House in order to spy on President Jefferson Davis, Mary deceives even
those who are closest to her to aid the Union command. Just when it seems that all her courageous
gambles to end slavery will pay off, Mary discovers that everything comes at a cost – even freedom.

2015 LONG ISLAND READS SELECTION!
The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman
Thursday, April 16 at 3:15 pm
Mesmerizing and illuminating, The Museum of Extraordinary
Things is the story of an electric and impassioned love
between two vastly different souls in New York during the
volatile first decades of the 20th century. Coralie Sardie is
the daughter of the sinister impresario behind the Museum of Extraordinary Things, a
Coney Island boardwalk freak show that thrills the masses. An exceptional swimmer,
Coralie appears as the Mermaid in her father’s “museum,” alongside performers like
the Wolfman, the Butterfly Girl, and a one-hundred-year-old turtle. One night Coralie
stumbles upon Eddie Cohen, a striking young man taking pictures of moonlit trees in
the woods off the Hudson River. With its colorful crowds of bootleggers, heiresses,
thugs and idealists, New York itself becomes a riveting character as Hoffman weaves
her trademark magic, romance and masterful storytelling to unite Coralie and Eddie in a moving story of
young love in tumultuous times.
There will be no nighttime book discussions until further notice
