Summer Reading Program Kicks Off at the Library Today
Sea Cliff, NY · June 2, 2026
The morning drizzle might dampen the pavement, but it’s a perfect excuse to duck into the library for the summer program launch. Keep the umbrella close for the morning walk; the air should dry out and the clouds should thin by mid-afternoon.
📰 The Lead
The Sea Cliff Library officially launches its annual Summer Reading Program today, a tradition that transforms the quiet stacks into a hub of activity for all ages. This year’s theme focuses on local maritime history and ecology, encouraging readers to explore the natural world right in our own backyard. Beyond the standard reading logs and prize incentives, the library has scheduled a series of "porch talks" and outdoor workshops that will run through August. For local students, the program serves as a vital bridge during the school break, while adult participants can look forward to a curated list of beach-ready titles from local authors. Registration begins at the front desk this morning, where the first fifty participants will receive a limited-edition village tote bag.
