A hotspot for Syosset Library cardholders
Syosset Public Library staff recently abandoned the stacks on South Oyster Bay Road— just temporarily—to meet hundreds of new and current library cardholders on location at the 2018 Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce Street Fair held in September. Visitors to the library booth found books to read, pages to color, great giveaways that encouraged reading, and lots of information about the movies, lectures, computer classes, online tutoring, craft workshops, performances, discussions, research tools, and 24/7 online services available at the library. There was also a library card hotspot where new users signed up for and immediately received a library card. “As the school year started, we wanted to remind parents that a library card is the most important school supply of all,” Syosset Library Director Christine Belling said. “Signing up for a library card is an important step toward both
academic achievement and lifelong learning. We invite people of all ages and interests to visit the library so we can show you what we have for you here and for you to borrow.” This year marks the 30th anniversary of Library Card Sign-up Month—a time in September when libraries across the country join together in a national effort to ensure that every child has, and uses, a library card. If you live or work in Syosset and would like a Syosset Library card, visit the library at 225 South Oyster Bay Road. Residents should bring two proofs of residency (one being a photo ID). Those employed in Syosset should bring a letter so stating on their employer’s official stationary or a pay stub, along with a photo ID. For more information about the library’s programs and services, visit the library at 225 South Oyster Bay Road or www.syossetlibrary.org, or call 516-921-7161.

Town of Oyster Bay Chabad’s Chanukah Spectacular All are invited to attend the annual TOB Chabad Chanukah celebration, a yearly family event, this year starring David Darwin, which will be held on Sunday, December 2nd from 4-5:30PM at the Plainview Shopping Center. Dave from Pennsylvania presents a laugh-a-minute show of juggling, sideshow, and comedy. He will keep you riveted with amazing feats to keep you talking for years. Imagine being entertained with the silliness of juggling three
balls while playing the harmonica, the danger of eating and manipulating real fire, or the bizarre sounds of bare feet walking across broken glass! Dave’s act will thrill you with whip cracking, plate spinning, lasso, ball spinning, unicycling, and more! And be prepared to laugh yourself out of your seat as Dave juggles, dances and sings with both legs behind his head in an act that earned him an appearance on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.
Also featured will be music, drinks, donuts, and pizza, celebrating the joy of Chanukah will be an experience to be remembered. The highlight of the event will be the Grand Menorah lighting near Shoprite, where a great prize will be raffled off for all attendees of the lighting ceremony. All children will receive Chanukah Gelt of one crisp dollar bill. Please note that the show will take place in a heated tent near The Chil-
drens Place in the Plainview Shopping Center. The lighting will take place in the walkway between Shoprite and the shopping center. The program is free; however, only online RSVP’s will be admitted - no exception. Visit www.JewishTOB.org to RSVP. For more information, visit the website or call TOB Chabad at 516-682-0404.
