The Board of Trustees along with the staff of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library hope you and your family are safe and well and doing what you can to take care of yourself and your loved ones during this unsettling time. Since first learning of COVID-19, the Library has worked to address the situation proactively. Our actions – guided by recommendations from local, state and federal officials – have held paramount the health and safety of our patrons and staff members. We are doing our best to fight the spread of the virus by keeping the Library closed, maintaining social distancing and wearing masks. These things add to the challenge of everyday life. In the interest of the well-being of our entire community we will remain closed to outside visitors until the government deems it safe for us to reopen. In an effort to minimize the impact on the execution of the Library mission, we have modified our operations and now offer a wide array of online education, entertainment and exercise programs for the whole family to enjoy in the safety of their home.
