The South Huntington Public Library is makingsome improvements that will go a long way towardmaking sure patrons have access to the most popularmaterials.
We always purchase multiple copies of best-sellingbooks, popular films and audio recordings, but nowwe are buying additional copies to make sure ourpatrons are getting what they want faster. The amountof time patrons will have to wait for a popular titleshould be cut in half.
And for good measure, we are relaxing the limiton the number of books, DVDs and videos that canbe checked out. Patrons may now borrow up to sixbooks on a particular subject rather than four. Also,up to four DVDs and videos can now be checked outper card, rather than the previous limit of two per family.
You may also have noticed new book displays inthe lobby and near the circulation desk. We arefeaturing new arrivals, new paperbacks and materialson relevant subjects. Please feel free to take booksfrom these displays and check them out. If you don’tsee what you like, please ask — we have some of themost knowledgeable and helpful librarians in town. Ifwe don’t have something that you need, we can get itfor you.
We are not waiting to move into the new libraryto offer our patrons more. If you haven’t been to thelibrary recently, plan a visit soon. And if you’re aregular user, come on in and take advantage of theseimprovements.
Ken WeilLibrary Director
The South Huntington Public Library haspurchased two automatic external defibrillators(AED’s) and 19 staff members have been trainedto use the device, which could save the life ofsomeone who goes into cardiac arrest and needsa shock to restore normal heart rhythm.
According to the American Red Cross,sudden cardiac arrest occurs 700 times a day,which translates to 250,000 lives lost every year.If someone goes into cardiac arrest, they have thebest chance of surviving if they receive assistancewithin the first four minutes.
This potential to save lives is the result of thelibrary’s participation in New York State’s PublicAccess Defibrillation Program, which seeks toplace AEDs in a number of locations to increasepublic availability.
The 19 trained staff members learned CPRand how to use the AED with nurses fromHuntington Hospital and received propercertification. There is at least one certifiedemployee for every shift that the library is open.
Library director Ken Weil, who is among the19 certified staff members, is pleased that thelibrary is now an AED facility. “We havethousands of patrons who pass through ourdoors each week. Any one of them could bestricken by cardiac arrest, and now we have thetraining and equipment to assist them until theparamedics arrive,” he said. “Those first fourminutes are crucial, and the life we save couldbe a patron, neighbor or co-worker.”
Mr. Weil also praised the staff members whovolunteered to be certified. “The willingness ofour staff to receive this potentially life-savingtraining is truly commendable,” he said.
The Friends of the South Huntington Public Libraryare ready to launch their fundraising campaign for theOutdoor Gardens at the new library building onPidgeon Hill Road.The gardens will be located at the rear of the newlibrary in an elliptical shaped area that will beaccented with plantings, grass and seating. The librarywill use the area as a venue for programs, and patronswill be able to enjoy the scenery as they sit and reflector enjoy a good book.The garden’s walking paths will be made of bluestoneonto which individuals, families, community andschool groups and local businesses can have theirnames engraved as supporters of the gardens, or theycan purchase an engraving in honor or in memory ofa loved one.There are several different levels at which patrons cansupport the gardens, depending on the size of the areato be engraved. • 4”x8”: $100 for up to three lines of copy, 14

If you’ve driven down Pidgeon Hill Road lately, you knowthat the new building is really starting to look like a library.But what you see from the street is only half the story. Masonshave been hard at work installing the brick that will make upthe exterior walls of the library. The schedule calls for thebuilding to be enclosed before the cold weather so that workcan proceed through the winter. The target date for completionis summer 2004. In the photo above Library Board membersand staff pose on the west side of the building during a recentvisit to the site (front row, l to r: Cathy Trotter, EllenMeiselman, Donna Roche, Doris Lessuck, Marjorie Rosenthal,Ginger Hoernig; back row, l to r: Ken Weil, Stuart Horowitzand Joe Latini).
