Emma
Clark Library has just started a new program with the Long Island State Veterans
Home at Stony Brook University. Volunteers from the library brought around 60 large print books to
the home, and they plan on rotating the books about once a month. Books are selected by Connie Roberts, Adult
Reference Librarian at Emma Clark.
“The Veterans Home is very excited about our new
partnership with Emma Clark Library,” says Susan K. Helmus, Director of
Volunteer Services. ”Our residents can
really benefit from large print books, yet over the years we have found these
hard to come by. The partnership with Emma Clark Library is such a
wonderful resource for our residents. They are looking forward to
perusing the large assortment of titles.”
For
some patrons, it is difficult getting to the physical library building for a
variety of reasons, including transportation and health issues. This partnership brings the library to
them. The program with the Veterans Home
will be ongoing, and the library hopes to expand this service to other senior
homes in the community as well.
The
Long Island State Veterans Home provides high quality and compassionate health
care services for veterans and their families.
The
Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket,
provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central
School District.
