Happy New Year!

It's coming close to the end of 2008. In a few short hours the ball will drop, noisemakers will sound and 2009 will be ushered in!

We hope this past year has treated you well and you are all looking forward to the new year with anticipation. I know we are here at the Hauppauge Library! We have many exciting things planned for this coming year... new programs, more volunteer opportunities, and my own personal resolution for the new year... more frequent blog postings!!

If you have any opinions or ideas on any way to make the Hauppauge Library better for teens in 2009, (or any age group really) let your voice be heard- get involved in our monthly Teen Advisory Board meetings, speak to one of the librarians next time you visit, or comment to this post. Tell us what you've liked in the past, or what you'd like to see/do at the library in the future. Whether it's a suggestion for a program we've never had, or the addition of an item to the library's collection, or a new way to look at something we've always done- we'd like to hear from you.

May your hopes and dreams be realized in 2009! Happy New Year to one and all!
