Not Just Books: This Week's Library Events
There are a variety of events going on at both local libraries this week.
There is much more going on at your local library than just books being checked out.
Many residents are unaware of how much actually goes on at the local libraries. Also, most of the events at the Merrick Library and North Merrick Library are free to residents.
We're giving you a rundown of some highlighted events happening this week, but all of the library events can always be found on our events calendar.
