I am a huge baseball fan and have been my entire life. There is no place I’d rather be than at the ballpark on a summer day, watching a game. My goal is to see a game in every Major League park and I am over halfway there! Enjoy these books and movies featuring America’s pastime and take me out to the ballgame!
We've officially broken ground for our new building!
On June 15th, we celebrated the kickoff of the construction project! We were grateful to have beautiful weather and the company of Village President Keith Giagnorio along with Village Staff and Board Members, State Representatives Terra Costa Howard and Deb Conroy, our Library Board (past and present), and many others!
