Work has begun!

General Contractor T. G. Nickel and Associates have begun work on the Nesconset Armory, the future home of the Nesconset Branch of the Smithtown Special Library District.

Abatement work is well under way. This will be followed by the removal of the existing roof which cannot be repaired and is not weather-tight.

The removal of the old septic system was also completed and the land was properly graded with clean fill.

Removal of the concrete aprons in front of the bay doors was also undertaken.

Nesconset Groundbreaking

The long awaited groundbreaking ceremony for our new Nesconset branch was held on Friday,

March 19 at 3:00pm. The speakers at the ceremony included: Robert Lusak, Library Director; Kevin Verbesey, Director, Suffolk Cooperative Library System; the Honorable John J. Flanagan, State Senator; the Honorable Patrick R. Vecchio, Supervisor, Town of Smithtown; Joseph Vallone, President, Library Board of Trustees; the Honorable John M. Kennedy, Jr., Suffolk County Legislator and the Honorable Michael Fitzpatrick, Assemblyman. Their cooperation in this endeavor cleared the way for our expansion project.

The Library would also like to thank our Library Board of Trustees: Joseph Vallone, Anthony Monteleone, Eric Johansson, Charles Sauer, Carolyn Ciarelli, John Martins and Rose Palazzollo [not pictured]. Without their hard work and commitment to the Library, none of this would have been possible.

Also on hand for the ceremony are Assistant Director Sue McManus, Director Rob Lusak, former Director Peter Ward and former Assistant Director Robert Goykin.
