240 MASTIC BEACH ROAD, MASTIC BEACH, NY 11951What is a Nature Explorium?

Outdoor Ampitheater

A Nature Explorium is a dynamic, nature-based outdoor space developed by research-based and field-tested design principles that support kids’ learning and social/emotional development in all domains.

Designed to meet kids’ individual learning styles, interests, and strengths, Nature Explorium spaces help children to grow into their best selves. In these intentionally designed, nature-rich spaces, kids improve in math and science learning, cultivate art and music interests, and foster initiative, cooperation, and creativity.

A Nature Explorium does much more than enhance the physical environment; it allows kids to explore and develop a connection to the natural world through engaging in open-ended play.

A spectacular feature of our new library will be the full stage outdoor amphitheater with seating for 200-300 people.

This unique library ampitheater will stage concerts, movies, musical & theatrical performances, kids’ programs, author events & readings, tree lightings, celebrations, and more.

Benefits of the New Building Bottom Line

In order to vote on the Mastics–Moriches–Shirley Community Library Bond Vote, residents must be registered. Voter eligibility requires that you are a 1) United States citizen; 2) at least 18 years of age; 3) district resident for at least 30 days; 4) a registered voter with the District’s Board of Registry or with the Suffolk County Board of Elections.

Residents may register at any of our schools through Tuesday, January 30, 2018. Voter registration from Wednesday, January 31, 2018 through 5 p.m. on February 2, 2018 will be held at the William Floyd District Office, but will continue throughout the date of the vote at the Suffolk County Board of Elections.

Applications for ABSENTEE BALLOTS will be available in the district office starting the week of January 8 during regular business hours.

Ballots will be mailed to those on the Board of Elections permanently disabled list. The last day to mail in absentee ballots to be counted in time for the vote is Wednesday, January 31, 2018.

Sited on the former Links at Shirley golf course, the new approximately 50,000 square foot library will be nestled in a beautiful woodland setting less than a mile from our current location, easily accessed via William Floyd Parkway and Mastic Road. The new library will be within walking distance of William Floyd High School and the adjacent middle and elementary schools.

Residents are being asked to invest in a 33.5 million dollar bond, which will, for the average homeowner, (based on a $2,500 assessed valuation), result in an estimated 12 dollars per month tax impact. The land, one of the largest expenses for the proposed new library, will be provided by the Town of Brookhaven in the form of a one-hundred year lease at no additional cost.

Voter Information

Much has changed in the forty-four years since residents voted to establish the Community Library. One thing remains the same — the support of the library by our community. During these times of unprecedented change, the library has worked hard to meet the educational, cultural, vocational, and recreational needs of our community. As we continue to look to the future, we propose a way in which your library can meet both the current and future needs of our community. We ask you to envision a brand-new, state-of-the-art library built for the twenty-first century.

Twenty-two years after the last renovation of our current library building, the Library Board is proposing to build a modern, efficient, and sustainable library on a beautiful parcel of land provided by the Town of Brookhaven. The design of the proposed new library seeks to save tax-payers money by building an energy efficient and technologically advanced building. Utilizing alternative energy sources, LED lighting systems, geothermal heating and cooling, etc., annual operating expenses will be dramatically reduced.

During formal envision workshops with community members and other conversations with members of business, civic, and educational groups, it was concluded that the new library should provide: more parking, more program space, more technology, and a more comfortable library environment.

Envision Today, Invest in Tomorrow

Based on the priorities expressed by the community, the Library Board of Trustees has prepared a responsive and fiscally sound proposal. Following years of saving and planning, the library is asking residents to invest in a 33.5 million dollar library bond. The new library bond will cost the typical homeowner (with an assessed valuation of $2,500) an estimated $12 per month.

Envision your new Community Library with safe and convenient parking, space for more programs and community meetings, a clean and comfortable environment, and state-of-the-art technology.

Please remember to vote: Wednesday, February 7, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the William Floyd High School – East Lobby.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact Library Director, Kerri Rosalia at krosalia@communitylibrary.org or call (631) 399-1511 ext. 200.
