Slated for July 23 board of trustees meeting

Marietta DiCamillo, library board president and chairp of the building advisory committee, emphasizes that this time around the process for preparing and presenting a plan for a renovated library is “totally different” from previous failed attempts. A target date of July 23 has been set to present a conceptual plan to the entire board of trustees at a public meeting. A November referendum is also targeted.

In October of 2011, the community resoundingly defeated a proposed $20.8 million referendum to renovate and expand the Main building of the Great Neck Library system.

Wednesday, June 6, may have been the only dry day that week and fortunately it was the day that the championship game was played in the Great Neck Little League Minors “B” division for the 8/9 age group.  This season’s final game featured the rubber match of a three-game season long series between the Dodgers and the Marlins.  In the first two games, played during the regular season, these two teams played to a tie.  And so it seemed that fate would have the same two teams meet in the final game of the season for the championship trophy.
