Staff say they recognized many of the youths as local middle schoolers and want families to help keep the library a safe, respectful space for children.
   

• House Panel Examines Cyber Threats and Rising Water Costs (legis1.com) — Merrick residents could see their Liberty Utilities water bills jump by nearly 37% under a proposed Long Island rate increase now before state regulators.
