October’s TIF meeting will take place at The John Jermain Library in Sag Harbor on Thursday, October 5, 2017.
Jesse Reinard from the Connetquot Library will be discussing the implementation and success of his Raspberry Pi/Retro Pi program.

If you can’t make the meeting, we will stream it on the TIF facebook page as well. Hope to see everyone there.
I also wanted to mention that next month (Can November be around the corner already?) we are holding another joint Nassau/Suffolk technology meeting with NCLA. This meeting will be at the Smithtown Library’s King’s Park Branch. So bring your success stories, setbacks and maybe even bring in some tech to show off!! That meeting is a “don’t miss”.
