The staff of the Shelter Island Public Library spent most of 2020 weathering the daunting challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.
Special presentations and meetings were all moved online, and access to the library building was curtailed until recently. But just as this difficult year came to a close, Library Director Terry Lucas received some very welcome news.
The Library was awarded a $20,000 grant from the Banyan Tree Roots Foundation to upgrade or replace outdated computer equipment and fund programs.
