trails in Bear Mountain State Park. Located in the Hudson Highlands
just north of New York City, Bear Mountain is home to approximately

The East Islip Library Means Business
While the library provides innumerable resources to enhance your personal
and family life, you may not realize all the resources we have that can help
you with business matters. Our electronic resources allow you to take care of
business wherever you are. The Business Insights database, available for
free with your East Islip Library card, provides access to a variety of global
business information that is either unavailable or not easy to find in one place
on the Internet including competitive intelligence, career and investment
opportunities, business rankings, and company histories. By creating a free
account and answering a few questions, patrons can use Law Depot to create
personalized legal forms for business and personal issues, and for those doing
business internationally, the Global Road Warrior provides updated
travel and professional information, high-resolution maps, and culture
reports. While our electronic resources provide valuable information, the
East Islip Library’s Business and Finance Center provides traditional
reference resources that help you do more in-depth research. Directories like
Hoovers and Dun and Bradstreet provide extensive information on national
and local companies while Value Line and S&P’s Outlook let you drill
deeper into stocks and mutual funds in order to make better investment
decisions. In addition to our Business Resources, material in our Consumer
Corner provides information on all the major purchases you need to make.
From blenders to life insurance, we have ratings and price guides to help you
navigate all these difficult decisions. Stop by our Reference Desk to pick up
a brochure listing all our great business resources or if you need help using
any of the sources listed.

2015 SUMMER READING CLUB
This year's summer reading club is underway but there is still plenty of time to join! Non-readers ages birth and up
can join our Read-to-Me club. Older children able to read on their own can sign up for the Independent Reader club.
Our young adult listeners are available for reporting on books from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, 7 to 9 p.m. through August 14. This summer's program will conclude with a special
ventriloquist performance by PetraPuppets for those who complete the program. Children completing the reading program
will also receive a certificate and a McDonald’s coupon!
Club members can enter our contests, and our Italian ice raffles, too. Again this year, we'll be recognizing our star
readers by placing their names on display for all to see. Ask one of our volunteers about becoming a star reader when you join the program.
For further information, pick up a copy of our club flyer or give us a call. Suggestions for more summer reading fun are available at the New
York State Summer Reading Club website which can be accessed through the Kids Corner of the library home page at www.eipl.org.
Parents: This summer, give your children an advantage. Even though school is out, it's important for children to keep reading. Research shows
that students who read five or more books during summer vacation can maintain and even improve their reading skills. They can return to school in
September without the summer learning loss that may occur otherwise. Sign up today!
IMPORTANT REMINDER
For all parents and caretakers of toddlers and young children
No child under 9 years of age may be left unattended at any time, anywhere in the library. For the safety and protection of your children
please remain with them. Even in the friendly atmosphere of the Children’s Room, youngsters are at risk of harmful accidents or incidents that could
otherwise be prevented with parental supervision. Librarians and support staff cannot be responsible for overseeing individuals, and we do want your
child’s visit to the library to be a happy and rewarding experience.
PROGRAMS
Programs are one hour in length unless otherwise noted. Please arrive on time for programs. We will hold your place for 5 minutes. After that
we will seat standbys and there may no longer be room for your child to attend. If you cannot attend a program you are registered for, please notify us so
that someone on the waiting list may attend. Thank you for your consideration.
If a program states “no siblings”, please do not bring unregistered children to the class. For the full enjoyment of all participants at the class,
only registered children will be permitted to attend with their adult. Please make other arrangements for younger or older siblings.
This library is inclusion friendly. If your child needs any special accommodations in order to participate, please let us know.
FOOD ALLERGIES? We sometimes serve snacks at a program, so please notify us if your child has any food allergies.
SAY CHEESE! Your attendance at programs sponsored by the East Islip Public Library may be digitally recorded through photographs or video recordings. These images may be posted in the library, on our website, in our newsletter or by local newspapers.
