GARDEN CITY, NY — Charles Murphy was recently recognized for his many years of service and contributions as a Garden City Library Trustee between 2014-2021. Murphy was presented with a plaque at the July 11 Library Board meeting.

Library Board Chairman J. Randolph Colahan, Vice Chairman Peter D’Antonio, Board Trustees Lola Nouryan and Germaine Greco, Library Director Marianne Malagon, Assistant Director Ralph Guiteau and Village Board Trustee Lawrence Marciano, Jr. were all in attendance.

"We thank Charlie for his years of service and dedication to the board. We relied on his commitment, experience and wisdom through changing times (including COVID, security matters, building projects, facility needs and concepts of the Children’s Renovation Project)," said Colahan. "His guidance has helped the library better serve the patrons of our village. We miss his soft-spoken but firm opinions and humor at our meetings.”
