When you are at the library to get a copy of this book to read, go one step further and get prepared now for possible hurricanes that might hit Riverhead. Better to be unneccessarily prepared, than unprepared when necessary. I am at the libary now and there are brochures near the reference desk about what we should have on hand. WE NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES. DON'T FORGET PET MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY.
Thanks, leap2008. You left your blog dollars here. Come to the reference desk to retrieve them and spend them at the Yellow Barn!
