Rotary Club honors Matt Buck Nassau Library road trip to G.N.

Nassau’s public libraries have a challenge for you! How many libraries can you visit this summer? Find out by joining the Nassau Library Tour! Each one is your gateway into a new community–visit the library, then explore the attractions, restaurants, and parks nearby.

Take a self-guided tour as a family, a team of friends, or go solo. Plus, you’ll collect prizes and invaluable memories along the way. You can start the tour in your very own neighborhood by stopping by the Main Library, Station Branch, or Lakeville Branch.

Open to all ages, this self-paced journey takes place from June 12 — Aug. 12. Prizes are earned for visiting 5, 15, 30, and 50 of the participating public libraries in Nassau County. Anyone who visits all 58 locations will also be entered to win one of our fabulous grand prize raffles.

Take photos on your library adventure and share them on social media with the hashtag #NassauLibraryTour. Explore Nassau’s public libraries and discover all they have to offer: check out the books, technology, and events, and even spy librarians in their natural habitat.

Don’t forget to bring your map and have it updated with a sticker to indicate you visited that library! Then, plan your visit to the next library by visiting the tour website — tour.nassaulibrary.org — where you can also find nearby places to visit or have a bite to eat.

“More and more, Nassau’s libraries deliver rich experiences — in addition to books and media. What better way to enjoy the uniqueness of every Nassau library and every Nassau community than to set out on a fun challenge this summer? We’re proud to sponsor the Nassau Library Tour, highlighting the best of what Nassau has to offer,” said Caroline Ashby, director of the Nassau Library System.

For the list of participating libraries and more information, see tour. nassaulibrary.org. You can also contact the Great Neck Library at (516) 466-8055 or email ahinz@greatnecklibrary.org. Grab your map and get ready to hit the road!

The charity also provides scholarships to high school seniors that demonstrate outstanding work and dedication in their school and community. The Rotary Club also gave the distinguished Paul Harris awards to Bryan Mayer, president; James Gangone, vice-president; and Matt Buck, secretary of Rock Out Cures for all their work in our community.

Would you like to be able to connect with others in your community that are doing something to help others in this challenging time? We meet weekly at various locations and also on Zoom.
