The school year is coming to an end and the temperatures are rising! You could spend your summer at the beach showing off that new swimsuit you searched for all winter... or you could spend some time at your local library! We've got plenty of things for you to do while your on summer vacation! You could join in on the Summer Reading fun at summerreading.org! Escape the hot weather inside our air conditioned buildings and read a great book or attend a program! Things will be getting wild this month when the we get a visit from some awesome night animals! Summer Reading kick off parties will be a blast! You could even catch a movie in the library!

So everyone knows the famous saying about how April showers will bring May flowers... It's starting to look like that saying has changed! But don't write off May just yet! There are so many different things going on all over the world this month...

Spring is in the air! I know this because my nose reminds me all day long! But you know what really takes away the sinus pressure? A trip to my local library! Visit and join one of these great programs that will make you forget about all that pollen!

We have all these great special programs available this month; Rainforest Connections, Dia Del Los Ninos, An Earth Day Celebration and A poetry workshop for children!

March is full of sayings! Some people talk about the month as though it's an animal, giving it characteristics (like the "proud" lions that represent NYPL). Some call March a lamb — soft and innocent — while others throw insults at poor old March. They call it Madness. March Madness — what a terrible thing to say! I've never seen March go mad! Julius Caesar teaches us to beware of the Ides of March — March 15 — but if you're at the Library, you won't have much to worry about!

Here's February, and you already knew it was coming — not because of your calendar, but because of all the red and pink Valentine's Day things you've been seeing in all the stores! Why don't you make New Dorp Library your Valentine this year? Curl up with a book in one of our comfy chairs or take a movie home to enjoy a night in. Feeling active? Spend some time with the ones you love and attend one of our programs! We've got a little something for everyone!

I used to read 4 panel comics; then I graduated high school. I now read graphic novels!

Here's a list of the graphic novels I've read:

What do you have in mind for your New Year's resolution? Maybe you want to work off those holiday feasts? Learn how to use that new computer you got from the kids this holiday season? Have a little more fun or even just take up some extra reading? Well you can do all those things right here at New Dorp Library! Stop by for the Zumba or Stay Well exercise classes. Try out some computer skills programs, like Wireless Wednesday! Adult Social is a great place to make friends and play awesome games, and don't forget our Book Clubs in English and Spanish! We have everything you need and more!

The holidays are right around the corner, and if you need a break from all that shopping, New Dorp Library is the place to go! We've got just what the kiddies are looking for this year: stories, read alouds, and a pajama party! Teens can have an awesome time playing those new video games they love, or making new friends! Adults can learn about that new computer they got as a present and save some cash by learning how to make jewelry to give as a great gift!

Winter is coming up fast, and once the weather starts to get worse, it may become harder to visit the Library.

If you stay home and eat turkey, we'll understand...

But here are a bunch of excellent reasons why you should bundle up and come over to New Dorp Library!

That cool breeze is back already and its blowing around all those Autumn leaves. Before you know it, the kiddies will be in costume and excited for Halloween! But don't be afraid! There's nothing to be scared of, besides the amount of great programs New Dorp Library has to offer this month!

September's here and it's time for all those back to school commercials... luckily you can find all your New Dorp Library program information here, instead of it interrupting all your favorite TV shows.

This month, we are back in action with all your favorite programs for children, teens, and adults, so spend some time at your favorite library!

Check out more of the programs you love here!

Summer is almost over, come into the library and take advantage of all the great programs and events we will be offering! Check out our special event this month. Our Art Gallery / Carnival on August 25th from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

To celebrate the end of the Summer Reading for Teens, we would like to welcome patrons of all ages to enjoy our Art Gallery and Carnival! Visit us and view the beautiful artwork done by staff and teens, then have fun playing some carnival games, win some prizes and take some silly pictures in our photobooth!

July is here and Independence Day isn't the only time you'll see sparks! (And we don't mean Nicholas!) Head over to New Dorp Library and get involved in some of our amazing programs for all ages, without the fear of being burned by a sparkler!

This month you can look forward to attending our classic programs such as Read Aloud, Teen Cafe and Exercise Programs! But to add a little color this summer we're throwing in some other awesome programs! Check them out and have a blast at your favorite library!

I used to think the world was a very small boring place, filled only with cookie crumbs and empty soda bottles... And then I met Dwight and Jeremy. They taught me that earth can be a magical place. They taught me that magic does exist... in the form of a card game!

So everyone knows the famous saying about how April showers will bring May flowers.. It's starting to look like that saying has changed! But don't write off May just yet! There are so many different things going on all over the world this month..

So we're taking a little break from the music scene, to get a little more in touch with Mother Nature.

I've got us sitting out here on 'The Lane' admiring the cement jungle surrounding us. I can see many opportunities for protein and nutrition, that can easily be acquired as long as you have the fundage. I can see numerous opportunities for shelter, as long as you have keys. I see some great clearings for starting a fire, as long as you don't mind getting arrested for arson. Let us shed our urban confines and get free in the wilderness, let's talk shop, let's talk about Survival. Let it be known that Bobby Pins is a wilderness junkie.
