Emma S. Clark Memorial Library

👏 Congratulations to Marie, who teaches the AARP Smart Driver course here at the Library. We nominated Marie for the 2026 Suffolk County Senior Citizen of the Year award, which recognizes a resident over age 60 who has enhanced the quality of life for older residents in the county. Suffolk County recognized all nominees in a beautiful ceremony.

🫶 We want to take the time to thank Anita Scheifele for donating this beautiful piece, “Walk with me to the Library.” The work is original, mixed media by local artist Marlene Weinstein, made with a photograph, panpastel, and acrylics on kozo paper.

This artwork is currently hanging in our offices until we find the proper permanent spot for it!
