Temporary Closing

Photo of front of library with text "Update on the Library's temporary closing"
As you may know, the Library effected a closing on May 1 for emergency HVAC inspection/maintenance after a musty odor was reported by staff. Library personnel acted swiftly in conducting testing which revealed the presence of a common household mold (Cladosporium) in a contained area of the Library.  We are now aggressively remediating the condition and replacing ductwork and HVAC components as necessary.Under these circumstances and in an abundance of caution, the Library will remain closed until further notice.  Upon completion of the remediation and satisfactory air quality testing, the Library will reopen.

Please check back at this site for updates.


Please note:

  • Online zoom classes will resume as scheduled.
  • Although most Library items (such as books) do not accrue late fees, if you possess items that are due (Library of Things, physical Museum Passes), those will not accrue any fines.
  • All holds will be extended one full week from the reopening date.
  • If you need assistance with our online services, please call us at 631-941-4080 x. 127 or email askus@emmaclark.org

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding; we will advise as to a reopening date when it is determined.
