Fall 2008
A Message from the Library Board
The addition of the “Tween Place” to the Library’s Children’s Room has proved to be a real success.
It is a success because of the enthusiasm and interest of all the Tweens who use the new space. But
in an even broader sense, it is a success because of the great cooperative spirit it generated
throughout the community. It was the desire of the Board of Trustees and the Library’s Director
that the new space not be financed by the taxpayers. And so the project was funded in great part
by the Friends of the Mattituck-Laurel Library and with contributions from individuals, local
organizations, N.Y. State grants, and two bequests.
It is with the same resolve and fiscal restraint that the Library Board presents the proposed 2009
Library operating budget which reflects an increase of only $1.45 per thousand of assessed value.
This translates to a $10.15 increase in Library taxes for 2009 that an average homeowner whose
home is assessed at $7,000 would pay. The modest increase will allow the Library to maintain its
present level of service and pay for the increasing costs of utilities, insurance and building
maintenance.
th
A Budget Information Meeting will be held at the Library on Monday, September 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Voting for the budget and Board candidates will take place at the Library on Tuesday, September

Exciting New Additions to
Library’s Local History Collection
Browse through the new vertical files located in the front of the
Library which contain stories, photographs, and postcards about the
history of Mattituck and Laurel dating from the 19th century. A
sampling of the 123 files covers such topics as the Gildersleeve Store;
J. Wood Wickham, tinsmith; Lake Marratooka; the Old Mill Inn,
and so on. Also new to the collection are the papers of Reverend Doctor Charles Craven, Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church of Mattituck from 1895 to 1913, and author of The History of Mattituck and
editor of Whitaker’s Southold. In addition, material donated to the Friends of the Library by William
Satterly relating to the Methodist Episcopal Church, include bills from 1893 to 1919, a trustee book
from 1893, and pastor’s reports. There is also information about a fund-raiser for a barn and shed, a will
from 1888, and an address on farming at the Mattituck Lodge in 1881, just to name a few items. You
are welcome to browse the collection whenever the Library is open. If you have any historical material
you would like to donate to the Library, please call the Reference desk at 298-4134, ext. 5.
Attention Carpenters, Architects (and everyone
who loves historical houses) . . .
The Library recently received The Architectural Treasures of Early America, a 16volume set of books containing photographs and architectural drawings of early
American buildings. This set was donated by Eugene Davison, a carpenter who used
these beautifully illustrated books as a resource for his own interior woodworking
and design. This set of volumes is taken from material originally published as The
White Pine Monograph Series, published between 1915 and 1924 to promote the
use of white pine as an architectural wood. You will find this set on the shelf with the Dewey number
720.973 Arch.
Mattituck Brownie Troop #1334 completed a year-long recycling
project while earning the “Earth is Our Home” badge. Each
Brownie recycled cans at their own
homes and collectively they earned
enough to make a contribution
towards the Library’s new Tween
Place. Many thanks to Troop
leaders Sue DeRidder and Donna
Hahn along with scouts Drew
Hahn, Autumn DeRidder, Macie
Grathwohl, Amy Visser, Alissa Dabroski, Olivia Geppel, Talia
Aiela, Jaimie Gaffga, Ashley Burns and Samantha Fines.
Mattituck Cadette Troop #3097 created and donated a “Peace
Pole” to the Library. A Peace Pole is a monument dedicated to
peace and acts as a focal point for communities to come
together and visualize world peace. The Poles are multi-sided
and display the words, “May Peace Prevail on
Earth”, inscribed on each side in different
languages. The Peace Pole is located on the East
lawn of the Library near the Children’s Book
Cottage. Many thanks to Troop leaders Maureen
Campbell and Darla Doorhy along with Cadettes
Alexandra Zaweski, Kaitlyn Doorhy, Savanna
Campbell and Katie Fruedenburg.

Self-taught local photographer, Patrick Haggerty, says his camera is always at hand as he seeks to capture the essence
and beauty of the North Fork in his work. Over the past 25 years, he has earned many awards including Best Photo for

October – “Scenes From the North Fork”, Acrylic Paintings by Barbara Zegarek
Barbara Zegarek hails from Williston Park, New York, and is a life-long resident of Long Island. She has lived
in Huntington, Northport and Mattituck and currently resides in New Suffolk. Over the years, Barbara has
worked in collage, ceramics and sculpture and now her current passion, acrylic painting. Her most recent
paintings are inspired by the beauty and spirit of nature on the North Fork. From lily ponds, pebbled beaches,
and golden fields, to harbors, boats, and wildlife, her paintings breathe life and movement onto the canvas.
Barbara's work has been featured in the EEAC Gallery in Riverhead, Arts & Crafts Guild in Cutchogue, Art &
Soul Gallery in Eastport and the Terrence Joyce Gallery, Greenport.

on Friday, December 12th. With time in New York City after the 11 a.m.
performance to do your favorite holiday things:
shopping, seeing the Rockefeller Center tree,
checking out this year’s department store
windows…
WINTUK is an enchanting winter tale for
the whole family about a boy’s quest for
snow. Performed in the WaMu Theater in
Madison Square Garden by the
extraordinary Cirque du Soleil company, it
includes
acrobats,
dancers,
talking
marionettes and original music along with eyepopping technical effects.
We have a group reservation on a direct train from Ronkonkoma that arrives
in Penn Station, NYC so that we will be in the theater comfortably for the 11
a.m. performance. Everyone attending must meet in the Ronkonkoma
station building by 8:45 a.m. (you may want to carpool). After the
performance your train ticket will allow you to choose a train for your return
to Ronkonkoma at any time, on your own schedule.
The Friends have arranged a very special price of $60.00 per person (nonrefundable) that includes orchestra seats for WINTUK and round-trip train
tickets. Tickets are available now at the Circulation Desk of the Library.
