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

Islands are by nature mystical, mysterious, and mutable.  So it seems fitting that Plum Island, about a mile beyond the eastern tip of Long Island’s North Fork, is shaped like a question mark.  But, this island is different.  Historically, ecologically, and scientifically it is unlike any other island anywhere in the world.  Join Amy Kasuga Folk, co-author of A World Unto Itself: The Remarkable History of Plum Island, New York, as she surveys the history of this mysterious place.
