In our ongoing efforts to support the community during this difficult time, PWPL has used the knowledge and skills of our Technology Staff to 3D print PPE (personal protective equipment) for our local first responders and hospitals. Coordinating with the Port Washington - Manhasset Office of Emergency Management has allowed us to target assistance to those who are literally working on the front lines to protect our population. Our first batch of 29 printed Face Shields were recently dropped off and our work now continues. Thank you to the Friends of the Library for your donation of 3D printers. They were crucial in making this happen!

Even now, libraries are here to help you learn, grow, and entertain the kids! We're happy to offer residents without an existing library card a Digital Library Card, with access to things like ebooks, audiobooks, live tutoring, digital magazines, language courses, streaming video, test prep, and more. Apply for digital access today!

The Nancy Curtin Internship was created in 2018 in recognition of Nancy Curtin's tenure at the Port Washington Public Library, both as a librarian and as the Library Director. This internship will be awarded to one local high school student currently in the 11th or 12th grade. Thanks to the generosity of the Library Foundation and the Friends of the Library, the intern will receive a $2000 award for a six-week internship. Applications can be found by clicking this link. If you have questions or need additional information, contact internship@pwpl.org.
