Dear Patrons,
The Library’s Annual Budget Vote for FY 2017 will have taken place after this newsletter went
to print. Results are posted on the library website and in the library. Thank you to all who
voted.
Parents, please note the following policy change. Due to the large number of students
that visit the library after school and budget constraints which limit the number of staff in
the children’s department, the Board of Trustees has adopted a revised “Unattended Child”
policy. Effective immediately, all students in sixth grade and below MUST be accompanied
and supervised by an adult age 18 or older when visiting the library. Only children in seventh
grade and up may attend the library without a supervising adult age 18 or older.
September is Library Card Sign-up Month! A library card is the coolest card you can carry
and the best back to school tool you can give your child. Apply at the circulation desk; please
bring ID and proof of residency.

Thank you to the Charles and Stella Guttman Foundation for a generous grant of $2,500, and
to NYS Senator Ken LaValle for a $6,000 grant in Bullet Aid. Grants and contributions such as
these help the library to enhance services without increasing taxes.
Library Foundation to be established: The Board of Trustees has listened to the community.
Because there are renovations and repairs that must be made to the library to meet the
needs of the community and provide a safe and healthy environment, the Board of Trustees
is looking for ways to secure funding towards these improvements to help defray costs to tax
payers. One of these avenues will be to establish a Hampton Bays Library Foundation. The first
step will be to legally establish the Foundation. We will keep you posted on the progress and
the members of the Foundation in a future newsletter.
The Friends of the Library recently hosted their Second Annual Author’s Luncheon at
Oakland’s Restaurant with nearly 100 in attendance. A great time was had by all! The Friends
annual membership drive is ongoing. Everyone needs Friends, especially the library! Please
consider joining. The Friends Board is seeking to fill an open position of recording secretary.

New Unattended Children Policy!!
5 & 6 GRADERS MAY NO LONGER BE UNATTENDED IN THE
LIBRARY AFTERSCHOOL:
For your children’s safety and comfort, the Hampton Bays Public
Library requires that all children in sixth grade and below be
accompanied and supervised by a parent or responsible adult
age 18 years or older while using the library. Only children who
are enrolled in seventh grade and up may use the library without
adult supervision. They are expected to comply with all library
th
th
policies. Parents or caregivers, not the library staff, are responsible
for the behavior and supervision of their children while using
the library. The Hampton Bays Public Library does not assume

library. Parents or responsible caregivers will be notified if their
children are left unattended and require supervision. If parents are
unavailable, proper authorities will be contacted. Amended July
5, 2016.

Rudolph Valentino:
The Great Lover of the Silver Screen
Tuesday, October 18, 12:00 noon-2:00 pm
The name Valentino sent shivers down the spines of
American women of the 1920’s. Rebellious young
women flocked to the movie houses and were seduced
by the magnetism of the screen’s first “Latin Lover.”
This presentation by Marilyn Carminio explores how
Valentino lived the rags-to-riches dream of the immigrant. At a time when
Italian Americans were subject to prejudice, Valentino changed the negative
stereotyping of Italians in the movies forever, redefining our notions of love
and romance. While women adored him, many men despised him as a
stealer of hearts!
