May
is Senior Citizens Month!
West Islip Public Library celebrates our Senior Citizens this
month and joins the rest of the country in promoting older
Americans’ contributions to society, as well as raising
awareness of their special needs. Therefore, we are offering
every resident who is over 65 years of age and who lives in the
West Islip School District a special gift!
We recognize the
active, healthy and independent lives each senior leads, and we
celebrate their patronage of our library.
Stop by the
Circulation Desk in the lobby and pick up your free gift!
Gifts courtesy of
the Friends of the Library.
Seniors’
Art Show & Reception!
Once again our senior artists are showcasing their
original artwork in our Gallery during May in honor of “Senior

pieces of art work. On May 4th at 2pm we invite all
exhibitors, friends, and family to an artists’ reception and tea in the
Library’s Community Room. All materials must be framed and suitable
for hanging.
