The Community Outreach Department focuses on creating awareness of Library services to individuals and organizations in our town.   We form strategic partnerships with local organizations that can increase the reach and visibility of both the Library and our partners.  We conduct educational programs about library products and services as well as topics that affect our community.  In particular, we seek to reach and improve the lives of underserved populations, educating them about community services and support that is available to everyone.

If you would like your community organization to be considered for inclusion on this webpage, or participate in a joint program, please contact our Community Outreach Librarian Jonathan Pryer at jpryer@sayvillelibrary.org.
