Youth Services Melville

Things are about to change for the better in our Melville building.  Renovations have started this week on the upper floor, and after that we move on to the Youth Services department on the lower floor.  In the meantime, we will continue to provide Internet service and limited access to our adult collection in the community room.

Take a look at the above pictures and say goodbye to the old look at Melville, and look forward to the same great service and librarians in a brand new setting.
