Happening at the Great Neck Library

The Island Now
Thank You from the Great Neck Library
 
The Great Neck Library family extends a heartfelt thank you and salute to the courageous and dedicated individuals who are sacrificing their own health and safety to care for and help ease the pain of those affected by the Coronavirus.  A tremendous thank you to all the first responders – emergency medical technicians, fire and police department personnel, doctors, nurses, and hospital/urgent care personnel.  Then there are the people in our communities we often don’t hear about, who are lending a virtual “hand” to neighbors and strangers who need help.  Thank you.  As we try to wrap our thoughts around the reality of this pandemic, there is comfort in knowing we have such heroes among us who exhibit such a touching display of humanity.
