New & Noteworthy @ WHPLibrary

Bestselling author Kristin Hannah will be speaking about and signing her new book, Home Front, at the Book Revue in Huntington on Tuesday, Feb. 14th at 7 p.m.

In Home Front, by Kristin Hannah, Michael and Joleen Zarkades seem to have it all: a great marriage, exciting careers, and children they adore. But after twelve years, they are unhappy and edging toward divorce. Then the Iraq war starts. An unexpected deployment will tear their family apart, sending one of them into harm's way and leaving the other at home. When the worst happens, each must face their darkest fear and fight for the future of their family.

All books signed must be purchased at the Book Revue. For more information, call
631-271-1442.

Here we are last year in 2011:

75% of Long Island homeowners have taken the first step by investing in more insulation in their homes. Learn how you can improve the energy performance of your home and get the best benefits and incentives possible from State and utility energy efficiency programs!

The Long Island Green Homes (LIGH) Program provides residents the opportunity to save money, create jobs and to improve our environment by implementing energy efficiency improvements to their homes. Start by getting a comprehensive Home Energy Audit - it's free or at a reduced cost for most Long Islanders.

The LIGH program is a publicly-funded effort through a New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA).
