Also, you may now register for paid programs (other than Defensive Driving) online using your credit or debit card. Of course, you can still register for all programs in-person, and for most free programs by phone. Speaking of programs, have you perused our November-December Newsletter?

The Library will be closed Thursday, November 11 in honor of Veterans Day. ~ South Country Library P.S. Looking for a job? The Long Island Virtual Career Fair is this Wednesday and Thursday.
