Did you know that Suffolk County Library Association/RASD has a Long Island History Committee? This Committee was formed by a group of librarians who had an interest in Long Island’s wonderful history and wanted to make it accessible to all Long Islanders.
The committee meets quarterly to plans tours and events that spotlight the history of Long Island.
If you are interested in learning more about Long Island history for your job or to enhance your knowledge of the subject, the committee would welcome you.
Please contact Committee Chairperson Inez Foster at: ifoster@suffolk.lib.ny.us or at: civilwardaughter@yahoo.com.
