Eye Glasses
Millions living in low and middle income countries lack access to basic eye care services. The Library collects usable glasses to support a not-for-profit program. Donate eyeglasses at the drop box on the Circulation desk. Accepted are sunglasses, prescription, and reading glasses with both plastic and metal frames (no cases please).

Food
The Library’s Little Free Pantry is run entirely on donations from our community. Donate, or help yourself, to non-perishables. Donations are accepted year-round.

The Library has partnered with Long Island Cares to offer two services: a year-round community food drive, and a monthly distribution of non-perishable food. Donation boxes are located across from the Circulation Desk. Bags of non-perishable items are distributed in our parking lot on the second Wednesday of every month from 10 – 11 AM while supplies last. No ID necessary and no identifying questions are asked.

Long Island Cares endeavors to feed more than 280,000 hungry Long Islanders. Over 5,600 pounds of food were collected at the Library in 2021.

Laptops
RSVP Suffolk’s Community Connections Program (CCCP) accepts Windows laptops under 5 years old which they clear, refurbish, and install in the homes of financially challenged individuals. Drop off your laptop at the library and a representative of CCCP will collect it. Click here for more information.

Toys
Toys for Tots of Suffolk County each year provides a drop off box for new, unwrapped toys in the Library’s main lobby, with collection beginning in late October. This program, run by the U.S. Marine Corp Reserve, delivers a message of hope to our less fortunate youngsters. Donations are accepted from October 25 through December 17, 2022.

Tree of Warmth
Each Winter, beginning on December 1 through January 31, the community is invited to drop off donations of new winter hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for both children and adults. Socks are also welcome on the tree. These items are donated to a variety of local non-profit agencies working with our neighbors in need.
