2011 Proposed Budget
A Message From
The Library Board
“Loveable libraries are not just places that people return to; they are
places people return to with their friends and neighbors. They make
people feel elevated, comfortable, and social.”
William M. Brown “Future-Proof Design” 2008
This is a fine sentiment that we, the Library Board, take very seriously. The
goal of being a “loveable library” is something the Mattituck-Laurel Library
strives for each and every day. Not only do we want you to use the library, but
we want you to return to it with your family members, friends, and neighbors.
We want you to take proud ownership of your community library and feel at
home whenever you visit.
The time of year is fast approaching when we ask you to show your love
and support for the library by approving the proposed operating budget
increase for 2011. The minimal increase of 2.9% translates to a tax increase of
$12.40 (based on a home with the average assessment of $8,000). This will
allow the Library to continue its current operation with modest growth in
services and programs.
Any questions about the proposed budget can be directed to Library
Director, Kay Zegel or you may attend the Budget Information Meeting on
Monday, September 13th at 7:00 p.m. The Budget Vote will be held on
Tuesday, September 28th 10 a.m. – 8 p.m. At that time voting will also take
place for two Library Board members.

September: “"In My Garden" – Photographs by Patrick Haggerty
Patrick’s day job is providing property maintenance and grounds keeping for the beautiful Southold Park District and he resides at the historic Horton Point
Lighthouse. He is a self-taught photographer who takes great pleasure in capturing the beauty and essence of the environment around him. His own garden beds
were the source of all the floral compositions in his show. Mr. Haggerty will donate one of his pieces to the Friends’ September Art Raffle to raise funds for the
Library.
In the Display Case: “Fairy Houses and Gnome Homes”–created by the students participating in the teen summer program held in July at the Library.
October: "North, South, East, West. Long Island is best!"
– Photographs by Monica Agosta
“No matter where you go or what you see, Long Island is a place of beauty. Whether backpacking from the Arctic circle down to Africa, driving
cross-country here in the U.S., or just driving around Long Island, I think Long Island has some of the best vistas around.” says this Huntington
photographer. Ms. Agosta, has worked in Manhattan for the Associated Press and WABC-TV and has won numerous awards for her photographs.
One of her photographs will be donated to the Friends’ October Art Raffle to raise funds for the Library.
In the Display Case: Collectible Cameras–Monica Agosta has many antique and unusual cameras in her personal collection which will be on
view for the month alongside her gallery show.
November: "In and Around the North Fork: a continuing romance between
a photographer and the north fork of the Isle of Long"
– Photographs by Steve Berger
Jamesport photographer, Steve Berger, began taking pictures when he was fourteen years old in his hometown of Atlantic City, N.J. He says, “I have
been photographing out here for over 15 years. I am as excited about it now as when I began. The light is outstanding and always shows me new
subjects and old subjects in a new light. I don't think I'll ever get tired of capturing images here.” Mr. Berger is generously donating one of his
photographs to raise funds at the Friends’ November Art Raffle. An Artist’s Reception will be held on Sunday, November 7th, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Call for artists: If you wish to exhibit your artwork at the Mattituck-Laurel Library, please contact Gallery Coordinator, Diana Foster, at

Fall 2010
Bev’s Book Beat
The smallest bookstore
still contains more ideas of worth
than have been presented in the entire history
of television~~Andrew Ross
The summer days are counting down, fall is in the air. As the days grow shorter,
I say start stocking up on books. This is the beginning of staying inside more and
sitting in front of the TV. Sometimes a pretty good TV series can come from a book.
When it works, a TV series can create interest in the author and books, and
sometimes the books can create interest in the TV series. With that in mind, this
article will give you an idea of the book to TV connection, and vice versa. Here are
just a few . . .
Been enjoying True Blood on HBO? Getting to know Sookie
and her collection of buddies…vampires, were- animals and shapeshifters that have “outed” themselves to make it easier for them to
be accepted by humans. The books, by Charlaine Harris, began
with Death Until Dark and the series is up to book ten, Dead in
the Family. I had fun reading the books and enjoy the series.
Friday Night Lights on NBC is from a non-fiction book by H.
G. Bissinger, Friday Night Lights: a town, a team and a dream.
Bissinger spent a year with a high school football team from Odessa, Texas, We see
people at their best and worst as we get to know the team and the town. The TV show
does an amazing job of bringing the book to life and staying (almost) true to the
book. I loved the book, and the series is well done.
Alexander McCall Smith had a hit when he introduced Mma
Precious Ramotswe in The #1 Ladies Detective Agency in 1998.
Since then he has written eleven more books in the series. HBO
and the BBC both aired the TV series that was shot in Botswana
which is where the books take place. The series has been a hit with
our patrons who cannot wait for the next installment. The books
give a great description of Botswana and the people who live there
and the TV series shows the beauty of Botswana and does a great
job of bringing the books to the small screen.
Dexter! Yes yes, Dexter. I love Dexter. Jeff Lindsay writes one of
the quirkier series I have read beginning with the first book, Darkly
Dreaming Dexter. Here we have a vigilante serial killer who works
for the police. Dexter has his own code and just kills those that
warrant it. Both the books and the TV series are wickedly
entertaining, cleverly done, and so sardonic–I love both! Book four
in the series came out in June so you can catch up pretty quick.
This is a great series of books and a great series on Showtime.
James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club was on ABC for too
short a time. I thought it had potential; a series about four women who come
together, form friendships, use their expertise and skills to solve
murder. The TV series stayed true to the books–boo to ABC for not
giving this series a chance to grow. Patterson kicked this series off
with 1st to Die and the latest just came out, 9th Judgment. If you
like police procedurals, this is a good one to get involved in and
follow.
Tess Gerritson has a series of books with lead characters
Detective Jane Rizzoli, and Medical Examiner Maura Isles. Set in
September:
Ape House by Sara Gruen
Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks
Promise Me by Nancy G. Brinker (sister of
Susan G. Komen)
Don’t Blink by James Patterson
Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich
Portobello by Ruth Rendell
Forever Young & introducing the Metabolic Diet
by Nicholas Perricone
Bad Blood by John Sandford
Naked Heat by Richard Castle
Book Discussions
Boston, these two are friends
outside the job as well as on the job. They were introduced in
Gerritsons’ first book, The Surgeon. Her books are always a good
read and will keep you wanting to turn the page. The new TV
series, Rizzoli & Isles started in July on TNT. I liked the series, it
always helps when the actors playing the roles fit
what you picture when you read the books.
Gerritsen is up to book eight in this series.
Other books to TV series to keep in mind:
Bones, on FOX, is based on the crime novel series by Kathy
Reichs. (Which is loosely based on Reichs’ life.)
Vampire Diaries, on CW, is based on the teen/supernatural
series by L.J. Smith. The underbelly of a small town exposed! I’m
always a sucker for a vampire series.
James Herriot’s All Creatures Great and Small series on PBS. Love this series, the
books and the show. Laugh, cry and just wish that you were there.
Inspector Morse series on PBS. Colin Dexter shows us a middle-aged upper-class
Englishman at his best. I don’t think anyone does a better job of setting up murder
mystery and mayhem than the British.
Which brings me to another of my favorites–
Rumpole of the Bailey by John Mortimer! If you haven’t seen
this series, check it out and watch Rumpole’s brilliant courtroom
action. Eccentric law barrister Rumpole loves the courtroom and
believes deeply in the presumption of innocence even if not all of
his clients are happy to be found innocent . . . read the books,
watch the series. Good stuff.
Little House on the Prairie by Laurie Ingalls Wilder. The series
that made kids want to read! Wilders’ memories of growing up on the prairie in
Minnesota during the late 1870’s-1880’s doesn’t get any better than this. I know my
kids loved the series and the books and would have loved to have been there!
Robert B. Parker’s Spenser and Jesse Stone series–for me, the Jesse Stone series
stays closer to the books, or maybe it’s because I like Tom Selleck. Of the two series
based on Spenser, I liked the A&E one with Joe Mantegna. I thought Mantegna
nailed Spenser and fit my image of him. (Sorry Robert Urich)
Granddaddy of them all . . . Perry Mason series by Erle Stanley
Gardner, with the one and only Raymond Burr. That was a “can’t
miss” night of TV for me, and what a great series of books!
I know there are many more, but I had to narrow it down!
Not many TV series become books, but here
are just a few:
If you enjoy the series Castle on ABC like I
do, you know the main character is a novelist. Castle talks about
“his book coming out” during the series and yes, “his” book did
come out at the end of the series, Heat Wave. Castle’s new book,
Naked Heat, will be out in September. I like the TV-to-book
connection.
There haven't been many too many others, but the Jessica
Fletcher; Murder She Wrote and Columbo spring to mind as series that books came
from.
Please be advised that at no point do I advocate the TV series over the book. I
always opt for the book!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Non-fiction account of how Henrietta Lacks became one of the most important
tools in medicine in 1950. Lacks’ human cells were used to develop the polio
vaccine and are still used today for medical discoveries–a fascinating book about
medical and scientific research.

refer to their experiences at the Library from their earliest ages, others
share some special meaning that the Library has had in their
development. We are always happy to read about the Library from
the point of view of these young adults!
In June, Young Adult Librarian Lynn Maaiki represented the Friends
at the High School's Awards Night and surprised the following
students who were awarded Friends scholarships: Angela Sidlauskas
and Claire Smith ($500 each); Zachary Palladino, Catherine Austin,
Janene Curtis and Alexis Gaydosik ($300 each); Daniel Letteriello
and Laura Stakey ($100 each).
Look for Friends’ Booksales on

gardens which stretch to the ocean and
browsed (or shopped) the many boutiques and
gardeners' markets. Inside Rosecliff were rooms
filled with the prize-winning Africa-themed
arrangements. You can see what a happy group
we were.
Speaking of BOOKS, your purchase of books in the Lobby and at the
monthly Book Sales has become a significant contribution to the Friends
annual budget. None of it would happen without the indefatigable Betsy
Richards and Betty Grenham and a group of sorters and sellers who work
almost every week to handle the flow of donated books.
At the Friends Annual Meeting . . .
• New officers elected were: Vice President Margaret Rodgers and
Treasurer Trina Waldron. Dorothy Bauman is “shadowing” longterm Membership Chair Virginia Neville and will officially take
over those duties in the fall.
• An operating budget for year 2010-11 was adopted and plans
made for upcoming events sponsored by the Friends.
• Check the Library's website, www.mattlibrary.org for the latest
news on trips and Friends’ happenings.
• In the spirit of this year's push for active members and volunteers,
Dorothy Bauman, Margaret Rodgers and Joan Carney stood
under the new Friends banner to greet parents and children
registering on July 1st for the summer program and encourage
them to join the Friends. In addition to some delightful
conversations, a number of young parents volunteered their e-mail
addresses so that they can be reached for help on specific activities.
Please be sure to include your e-mail address when you return
your membership form and let us know where you’d like to
volunteer.
A Special Note of Thanks to Hank Kuhn for establishing and
maintaining the Friends’ e-mail list for so many years. It has been (and
will continue to be) a great way to get the word out!
