Dear Patrons,
You may have heard or read that the Library is proposing a building project to construct a new
building on the current site. The vote will take place in the library on Tuesday, June 14, 2016. A
special mailer is being sent to all Hampton Bays residents with information about the project,
how much it will cost and dates for public meetings to be held in the library. Information will
also be available in the library and on the library website.
Back by popular demand! A recently held Paint Night was such a
success we are offering it again:
Paint & Pizza
Tuesday, June 14 from 6-8:30 pm
Artist Melissa Digiose will guide patrons step by step to create
a beautiful painting even if you never picked up a paint brush
before! For only $12 per person, each painter will receive an
11X14 canvas and all supplies. The fee includes pizza and soft drinks and is limited to 60
patrons. Please note that you must be a Hampton Bays Public Library cardholder to

Tween Time for Grades 4, 5 & 6!
In the morning this room belongs to parents, caregivers, their babies and young
children. The afternoon belongs to kids in grades 4, 5 and 6. With numbers increasing after
school (we have between 20 and 60 children daily), it has become clear that it is time for the
traditional idea of a kid’s room in a library to evolve. In light of this, and since we have always
been open to progressive ideas, we have been thinking about how we can better serve
this community need. Four days a week (with the exception of school vacations) we will
offer something for the after-school kids to do. We ask that the rules and code of conduct
from school be respectfully carried over into the library and we reserve the right to add or
subtract students from programs based on behavior. Children may also be suspended from
the library due to behavior. Please note the after-school rules are as follows: No food or
drink except for bottled water. Computers are for homework only until 5:30 pm. Children
must bring their library card – we will not issue guest cards. Children in grade 6 and under
must remain in the Children’s Department and may not be unattended anywhere else in
the library including Teen Services. Unless otherwise noted, programs start @ 3:30 pm and
run Tuesday through Friday. Details at the Children’s Reference Desk.
Children must have their own Hampton Bays Library card to register for programs;
please see the Circulation Desk for details.
Children under ten years of age may not be unaccompanied in the Children’s Room;
they MUST be with an adult. Don’t forget to check our Blog regularly for information
on upcoming programs, links to great parenting, children’s literature & children’s craft
