Little Valentines: Baby Supplies Drive at Emma Clark Library

Setauket, NY – January 3, 2023 –

Valentine’s Day is not solely about romantic love; it can also be about spreading love for the community, and in particular, for those in need.

In honor of Valentine’s Day and the season of love, individuals may want to donate to Emma Clark Library’s Little Valentines: Baby Supplies Drive from Monday, January 30 – Sunday, February 26. The Library will be collecting new store-bought and hand-made baby clothes, as well as diapers, wipes, pacifiers, toys & other baby-related items for local organizations that help babies and their families. Diapers are one of the most requested items from homeless shelters and organizations, and they are a basic need for caregivers.

A table for the donated items will be located in the Library lobby to the left of the Circulation Desk, and all are welcome to donate (residents or nonresidents) during Library hours. Teen volunteers will be picking up the items and distributing them to various local organizations in need. These junior high and high school students earn community service credit for doing so.

Anyone that has questions about the Drives should contact askus@emmaclark.org. If you live in Three Village, are in grades 7 – 12, and would like to apply to become a Volunteer Teen Transporter, please visit teen.emmaclark.org/teen-transporters.

 

The Emma S. Clark Memorial Library, located at 120 Main Street in Setauket and on the web at www.emmaclark.org, provides public library service to all residents of the Three Village Central School District.
