The East Islip Library adds Little Free Libraries!
Little Free Libraries have been added to the East Islip Marina and Beaver Dam Park in Islip Terrace for patrons to enjoy. The libraries have been created and generously donated by Bay Shore resident, Doug Plotke. We thank him for his time and effort; these durable structures will serve the community for many years.
Check them out the next time you are in either area; you'll find books for all ages to read while you wait for a game to start, watch your kids on the playground or lie on the beach.
