BUY A BRICK
COMING SOON!
We have suspended the ‘Buy a Brick’ program due to a combination of increased cost and the upcoming construction project. The Friends of the Library will replace this fundraising opportunity with a new idea that we hope will fit seamlessly into our new space.
Please check back to see what we come up with!
Thanks to all our loyal ‘Friends of the Shelter Island Public Library!
TURKEY PLUNGE
Join the Annual Turkey Plunge!
On Saturday, November 30th, Community members will ‘Splash for Cash’ to raise funds for the Friends of the Shelter Island Public Library. For a minimum donation of $25.00 ($30 on the day of the Plunge), you can be a part of this Island tradition and support your local library.
Join a team or go solo, compete in the costume competition, and enjoy some hot chili afterward at Crescent Beach.
