Town Board Meeting and Library Events

It doesn't get any better than this. It's only Tuesday and we're already halfway through our work week. But that doesn't mean Massapequa or the surrounding area is going to shut down.  So we're here once again with our list of things you need to know.  Each day, we're going to  spotlight events and happenings in and around the area that we think you ought to be aware of. We are asking for your help too. If there's an event announcement you'd like us to know about, please contact us.  

Here's what you need to know today:
