First, today's weather:

A t-storm around in the a.m. High: 74 low: 69.

Here are the top 4 stories in Huntington today:

1. Cinema Arts Centre partners up with The Next Chapter for a pop-up bookstore and documentary screening June 26. The Cinema Arts Centre will present a screening of "Hello, Bookstore," which is a film about how a town in Massachusetts came together to save their local bookstore. The Next Chapter will be in the former Book Revue building, as it was funded by donations from the community after the Book Revue was forced to close due to COVID-19. The pop-up bookstore will go on throughout the day in the Sky Room Cafe. (LongIsland.com)

3. Steers Beach and Asharoken Beach in Northport closed to swimming. Suffolk County Commissioner of Health Dr. Gregson Pigott made the announcement Tuesday, citing high levels of bacteria in the water. The beaches will reopen once the water is deemed safe to swim in. (Patch)
