BUY A BRICK

‘Buy a Brick’ to show your support for our great Public Library.

For a $250.00 donation, we’ll inscribe it with your name or in honor of someone else and install it in the Library’s reading patio.

When you ‘Buy A Brick’ you advance the mission of the Friends of the Library and in turn, the Library itself.

TURKEY PLUNGE

Join the Annual Turkey Plunge!

On Saturday, November 30th, Community members will ‘Splash for Cash’ to raise funds for the Friends of the Shelter Island Public Library. For a minimum donation of $25.00 ($30 on the day of the Plunge), you can be a part of this Island tradition and support your local library.

Join a team or go solo, compete in the costume competition, and enjoy some hot chili afterward at Crescent Beach.
