The Great Give Back

"The Great Give Back is a community service initiative created by the Suffolk County Public Library Directors Association and the Suffolk Cooperative Library System, in conjunction with the Nassau Library System. The mission of The Great Give Back is to provide a day of opportunities for the patrons of the Public Libraries of New York State to participate in meaningful, service-oriented experiences."

From Saturday, October 12 - Saturday, October 19, the Learning Commons will be collecting used cell phones, tablets, and laptops to donate to 911 Cellphone Bank, which erases the devices and dispenses them to law enforcement and victims’ agencies to distribute to victims of human trafficking and domestic violence.

Adult Services will be collecting dental care items, such as new toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash to support victims of domestic violence and abuse. Supplies will be distributed by ECLI-VIBES. Adult Services will also be collecting kitten and cat food, puppy and adult dog food, dog treats, dog beds, dog collars, and leashes.
