Hello South Country Community,
Do you need to do a COVID-19 test before a springtime get-together? Suffolk County has given the library test kits to give to anyone in need. Individuals may take up to three boxes, each containing two test kits. Come to the Patron Services desk to pick up these free kits.
Leftover items from the Friends of the Library Book Sale are available downstairs for a limited time. An optional small donation to the Friends Group is encouraged and may be made at the Patron Services desk.
Don't miss the Truck Stop Gypsies concert this Friday!
Details below.

P.S. Keep an eye out for our South Country Library Notes newsletter for May & June, which will be mailed out on Tuesday, April 26. On that same day, you can also access it on our website -- click "Newsletter" under the Events menu item.
