Display Your Trade at the Port Jeff Library

As you enter the Port Jefferson Free library, you will notice two display cases in our vestibule. We have a tall case and a flat case positioned on either side of the automatic doors. These cases are available to display the artwork or collections of local residents. The use of our display cases have been a tradition for our local residents for many years. We are always looking for new exhibits so if you have small paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, crafts, photographs or collectibles that you would like to share with the community, please contact the Adult reference desk or stop into the library and we can tell you what dates we have available.

In addition, we have another display case that is used by the Living Heritage Project. The Port Jefferson Free Library has partnered with our community’s local historical societies to display their artifacts, memorabilia and publications on a rotating basis. The Port Jefferson Historical Society has just concluded their exhibition of Port Jefferson history; while the Miller Place-Mount Sinai Historical Society currently has use of the case to exhibit their historical items. In the future we would love to open the case to other groups or individuals with materials relating to our local history and heritage.

If you have a collection that pertains to the local history of Belle Terre, Miller Place, Mount Sinai and/or Port Jefferson that you would like to share please email heritage@portjefflibrary.org or call the library (473-0022) and ask for Samantha Winter.
