‘All Together Now!’ Adult Summer Programs
Whether it is learning about the history of the Long Island roadways that we all share, or celebrating the themes of togetherness and unity, these summer programs promise to both entertain and educate and perhaps even bring us all a little closer.

Route 25A runs from the very western part of Long Island in Queens all the way to its terminus in Calverton. Eco-Photo Explorers will explore the historic past of Route 25A and examine its special place in the lives of all Long Islanders through photographs and stories.

Sandwiched In with Tony Traguardo – The Beatles Bring Us “All Together Now”. Friday, July 28 at 12:00 p.m.
The spirit of fun and messages of unity and love contained within the music of the Beatles were reflected beautifully in some of the animated projects that were developed around the group. In this multimedia program, Tony Traguardo shares some adventures of the cartoon Beatles, who appeared in their own TV series from 1965-1967. We’ll also join the animated Fab Four on a trip in a yellow submarine, as they set out to help the peaceful, music-loving inhabitants of Pepperland win out against the Blue Meanies.
Sandwiched In with Tony Traguardo – Together Tunes! A Multimedia Program Friday, August 4 at 12:00 p.m.
From the Carpenters to the Beatles to Sly and the Family Stone, musicians and artists of the pop music era have hit the charts and filled radio playlists with songs of unity. Join Tony Traguardo as he offers up a collection of songs from the past six decades that were written or performed with the idea of bringing us “all together now”.
Sandwiched In with Eco-Photo Explorers – Route 25: Long Island’s Route 66Friday, August 18 at 12:00 p.m.
Route 25 stretches from the very western part of Manhattan to the Orient Point Ferry Terminal at the far eastern tip of Long Island’s North Fork with one common purpose: to stitch together the communities of Long Island and to provide a direct route for commerce and town identity. Eco-Photo Explorers will explore the historical past of Route 25 and examine its unique place in the lives of all Long Islanders through photographs and stories. Join us for a fast-paced tour of our own “Route 66”.
The Adult Summer Reading Club is made possible by the Friends of the Library.
