New & Noteworthy @ WHPLibrary

If you missed our genealogy class in April, you may still get help with your genealogy questions using our Book-a-Librarian service.

Make an appointment with a Reference Librarian who can help you save time, money and effort using a very valuable resource for genealogical and historical research, and it's available only in the library!

Ancestry Library Edition centralizes records from the U.S. census, military records, court, land and probate records, vital and church records, directories, passenger lists, passport applications and more. The collections are constantly expanding with new content added almost every day.

Book-a-Librarian service is restricted to West Hempstead Library cardholders. Call to make an appointment (516) 481-6591 or email the Reference Desk.

The Friends of the Library are having a raffle! It's called the "Welcome Home Raffle".

You have a chance of winning a large rug that was donated by Nahas Rug in West Hempstead and a rocking chair contributed by an anonymous donor. If you would like to see the items, they are both displayed on the first floor of the library.

Please consider purchasing a raffle - it's for a good cause. Chances are $1.00 each or six for $5.00. Chances are available at the circulation desk of the library.

The winner will be announced on June 8 after the walkway dedication.
