Community Summit on the Carnegie Library April 25th

Friends of the Carnegie Library are hosting a meeting on Tuesday April 25th to update the community on current efforts to save and utilize the Historic Carnegie Library Building.

The Friends of the Carnegie Library are gathering together all those who have been involved with recent initiatives aimed to preserve the historic Carnegie Library building for an important public discussion.

Being held on Wednesday, April 25th, 7:30pm at Patchogue Village Hall, this Summit is an effort to inform the community where we currently stand and what the future holds for this vital piece of Patchogue history.  All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Joining us will be Mayor Paul Pontieri, members of the Village Board of Trustees and Suffolk County Legislator Rob Calarco , to catch us up on their efforts to have the building saved and moved to new location.

Further, the bulk of the agenda for our summit has been set aside to introduce to the public some exciting potential future uses for the Carnegie Library. Individuals representing The Patchogue-Medford Library, Plaza MAC Cinema Arts and the Greater Patchogue Historical Society will make presentations detailing how they want to revive the Carnegie back as a public benefit and community centerpiece. 

We will also have representatives of Tritec and the Village’s hired engineering firm to advise on any technical or logistical concerns regarding the move and future location. Time will also be reserved for those in attendance to ask questions.
