Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to assess the damage and begin to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons.

Event Details

Although a natural predator in our waters, jellyfish seem to turn everybody (from swimmers for their painful stings to fishermen for their net-clogging tendencies) against them. Join Dr. Marianne E. McNamara to find out why jellyfish are a growing concern among scientists and swimmers alike, and how local research is helping us understand the role of this natural predator in Long Island waters.
