Approximately 80 people attended the Commack Groundbreaking Ceremony on April 27, that included the Library Trustees, Design Team, staff members and local residents.
Library Trustees use their "golden" shovels to celebrate the commencement of the renovation and expansion project at the Commack Branch. Pictured are (L-R) Carolyn J. Ciarelli, John C. Martins, Rosalind F. Palazzolo, Anthony J. Monteleone, Charles A. Sauer and Joseph A. Vallone, President. Trustee Eric J. Johansson was unable to attend.
Some present and former staff members of the Commack Branch attended the ceremony.
The armory garage doors have been removed and new windows will soon take their place. The future Children's Department and Meeting Room will be located in this part of the building.
Following the removal of the roof, the steel beams have been sandblasted and are now being painted. A new roof will soon be installed.
The future main entrance to the Nesconset Branch Library is now visible. Graffiti has been removed from this outer wall and the remainder of the graffiti will be addressed in the coming weeks.
