The Long Beach Public Library is the public library of Long Beach, New York, serving the civic, cultural, educational and recreational needs of the community. The central library has two branches: one in Point Lookout, New York and the other at the West End of Long Beach, off New York Ave. == History == The Long Beach Public Library was founded in 1928 and had its first site at 124 West Park Avenue. The original site has been declared a landmark by the Long Beach Historical Society just above the popular Sutton Place Bar and Grill.〔Long Beach Herald- November 6, 2003〕 The first year the Library was open, more than 2000 people registered for library cards. Seven years later the Library needed a bigger space so it moved its location near the Long Island Railroad. Although the space was bigger, many patrons complained about noise, so a new location was needed. The library moved to its current three floor building in 1954. In 1997, the Library underwent a major renovation. Damage from Hurricane Sandy in late October 2012 closed the main library until the following March.〔(Long Beach Public Library reopens ) Long Beach Patch〕 The much smaller West End branch remained closed.〔(Long Beach Library suvey on West End branch ) Newsday, Sep 12, 2013 By PATRICK WHITTLE〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Long Beach Public Library (New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
