Port Washington Public Library

Join us at the Library on Sunday, November 15 at 2:30 p.m. in the Lapham Room and on Zoom for FOL University, the Friends of the Library’s scholarly lecture series. This event will feature Stony Brook Professor Dr. Elyse Graham, author of Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II. Thrillingly paced and rigorously researched, Book and Dagger is the gripping true story of espionage about a group of academics who helped beat the Nazis―a tale that reveals the indelible power of the humanities to change the world. Dr. Graham will discuss how the war was fought on battlefields but possibly won in libraries. Books will be available for purchase and signing. Register at pwpl.org/events.

VETERANS DAY RECOGNITION SERVICE - ROSLYN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.&nbsp;
Some of our friends, neighbors, and family members have devoted years of their lives to serving our country. Many rarely speak of their experiences or the sacrifices they made.
On Sunday, November 15, we have an opportunity to come together as a community and let them know that their service has not been forgotten.
Roslyn Presbyterian Church warmly invites all veterans, their families, friends, and neighbors to our special Veterans Day Recognition Service.
📅 Sunday, November 15, 2026 
🕙 10:00 AM 
📍 Roslyn Presbyterian Church 
140 East Broadway, Roslyn, NY 
(Next to beautiful Gerry Pond Park)
Our service will feature patriotic hymns, special music, and a heartfelt recognition of the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.
Whether you served decades ago or more recently, whether your service was during wartime or peacetime, we want you to know that your service matters, your sacrifices are remembered, and your presence would be a privilege for us.
Everyone is welcome, and refreshments will be served immediately following the service.
HELP US HONOR A VETERAN BY NAME
We would be honored to include the names of veterans in our printed service bulletin. Please send names to:
roslynpresbyterianoffice@gmail.com
RSVPs by November 10 are appreciated to help us plan refreshments:
roslynpresbyterian4veterans@gmail.com
For your convenience, guests may be dropped off at the circular driveway directly at the church entrance. A wheelchair-accessible ramp provides easy access to the church. Additional parking is available in the adjacent lower-level outdoor lot.
PLEASE SHARE THIS INVITATION!
If you know a veteran—a family member, friend, neighbor, or former colleague—please personally invite them to join us.
Because sometimes the most meaningful way to say "Thank you for your service" is to show up and say it together.
We hope you'll join us for this very special morning.

Meet John&rsquo;s Wahooo Wall of Socks!Walk into <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">Wahooo Market by John</a> at 328A Main Street in Huntington Village, and the first thing you&rsquo;ll see is a wall bursting with color: row after row of fun, bright, crazy socks. Our customers stop, smile, and pull out their phones. The wall had become one of our favorite parts of the store, and we realized it deserved a name.So, we asked you.

You Helped Us Name It
We took to Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and invited our community to help name the wall. The responses poured in with some wonderfully creative ideas. Fan favorites included &ldquo;The Great Wall of Socks,&rdquo; &ldquo;Sock It To Me,&rdquo; &ldquo;The Sock Exchange,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Wall of Happiness.&rdquo;
The final vote came down to a photo finish between two names, John&rsquo;s Wonderful Wall of Socks and The Wahooo Wall, separated by just a handful of votes. You loved them both, so we brought them together.
Please welcome John&rsquo;s Wahooo Wall of Socks, or as we&rsquo;ll call it for short, The Wahooo Wall.
&ldquo;I love the Wahooo Wall of Socks,&rdquo; said John Cronin, our co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer. &ldquo;It really captures the spirit of our wall of socks.&rdquo;
A Must-See Stop in Huntington Village
The Wahooo Wall is more than a display. It&rsquo;s a place to have fun, celebrate, and share a smile.
&ldquo;We love watching customers take photos in front of the wall of socks,&rdquo; said Mark X. Cronin, co-founder of Wahooo Market. &ldquo;It is fast becoming a must-see experience.&rdquo;
Every sock on the wall connects to our mission: spreading happiness and showing what people with differing abilities can do. When you visit, you&rsquo;ll meet John and the team who make Wahooo Market what it is.
The Wahooo Market by John builds on the success John and Mark have had with <a href="https://johnscrazysocks.com" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">John&rsquo;s Crazy Socks</a>. Wahoo Market by John moves beyond just socks to offer fabulous apparel, home goods, jewelry, snack items, and even dog biscuits. They make wonderful gifts. People are already telling us it's their favorite gift store. What makes it even better is that all of the products are either made by people with different abilities or come from companies that employ people with different abilities. 
Come See It for Yourself
Bring your family, your friends, and your craziest socks. Snap a photo in front of the Wahooo Wall and share it with #WahoooWall
so we can celebrate with you.
You&rsquo;ll find us at 328A Main Street in Huntington Village. Look for the sign out front, come through the gate, walk down the short path, and get ready to shout WAHOOO! 
 
And if you can&rsquo;t shop in person, shop online at <a href="https://wahooomarket.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">wahooomarket.com. </a>
