At the Library: Week of Mar. 18

Our local libraries are a source of both knowledge and entertainment, with informational and education events being hosted throughout the week.

The Lindenhurst Memorial Library often hosts these events for little or no charge, so check out the top events going on this week.

Week of March 18
1. The Lindenhurst Memorial Library is no longer hosting FEMA - the federal assistance program has moved to headquarter itself at the Copiague Memorial Public Library as of Tuesday, February 26.

2. The LML's Book Swap runs from March 1 to 30. Pre-school, grade-school and middle-school kids are invited to bring outgrown books from home to trade for books brought by others. You may take exactly as many books as you bring. (All books count equally.)

3. The Reading is Dino-Mite (CH): Parents as Reading Partners program is running from March 1 to 31. Pick up your calendar and sticker sheet anytime as of March 1. Every day that you read or listen to a book, put a sticker on that day's calendar square. Bring your calendar into the library anytime between March 20 to 30 and get a prize!

4. Tax Prep Assistance is available at the LML. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program is available on Wednesdays from March 6 to April 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It's open to lower- and middle-income senior citizens 50 years and older and the disabled by appointment only. Appointments could be made at the Lindenhurst Memorial Library by calling Circulation at 631-957-7755. This'll be held at the Lindenhurst Memorial Library. It's conducted by volunteers of Bethpage Federal Credit Union.

5. There's a Preschool Projects and Playtime (CH) program on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. for ages 2.5 to pre-kindergarten. Drop by the children's room and enjoy making projects and playing with the library's toys and puzzles. No advanced registration is needed.
