Long Awaited Opening of Kings Park Library Set

Library will open to the public on Wednesday.

 

Almost 18 months after it closed for renovations, the Kings Park Library is set to re-open.

The library will be open to the public beginning Wednesday at 10 a.m. The renovations, which began in April 2011 were expected to take about a year, with an expected April of 2012 opening.

In March of 2008, residents approved a $21 million plan to modernize and renovate the existing library buildings and convert the abandoned Nesconset Armory building into a permanent Nesconset Branch, which also houses the library district’s offices. The Smithtown branch closed last July and Kings Park in April of last year, to begin renovations.

The Kings Park branch is the final branch to re-open, with all four buildings renovations now complete.

According to library officials, all inspections are now complete. The renovations include new LEED-certified green/energy efficient windows and light fixtures, new HVAC systems, a new working elevator and expanded space including a children's room.

A grand opening is planned, but library officials said a date has not yet been set.

There's a 'Lost Dog' sign and a picture of a German Shepard in the window of Edelweis Deli.

I just saw this dog running down sunken meadow rd. on Monday afternoon around 4:45. We tried callingRead More it but it ran into the st. johnland nursing home and wouldn't come to me when I tried calling it over. It looks like a shepherd mix and seems a little frightened. I called smithtown animal shelter but no one answered.

A dog matching this description was just on my street, Lyn Oak Lane, on Monday afternoon. I calledRead More Smithtown Animal Shelter but they wouldn't come. I tried to get the dog but he would not come and growled. The dog does not have a collar on.
