The Smithtown Special Library District: On-Your-Own Train Trip to NYC

 ,   Add to calendar
 Main Street Kings Park NY 11754  See map

Enjoy a day in the city with reduced-rate tickets via the LIRR and the Smithtown Library!

Anyone – regardless of library district – is welcome.

Round-trip fare for ages 5 to adult is just $8.50 and children under 5 travel free. (Those under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult guardian.)

Register and pay (non-refundable cash or check made out to “Smithtown Library”) in person at either the Commack (3 Indian Head Rd; 631-543-0998) or Nesconset (148 Smithtown Blvd, Nesconset; 631-265-3994) Branch of the Smithtown Library starting May 1 and ending at 9pm on June 25.

Then meet a library staff member on the day of the trip at the Kings Park Rail Road Station house at 8:45am, when the tickets are given out.

The train leaves at 9:10am and arrives at Penn Station at 10:42am (transfer at Huntington).

We must be on the same train and remain in the same car as a group from Kings Park to Huntington and Huntington to Penn.

After that, you’re on your own! Come home that day on any Kings Park bound train that leaves Penn before midnight

How, in a period of rapidly declining enrollment, can costs be increasing so much from year to year,Read More you ask? The answer is in front of you in black and white. I urge you to READ your district’s budget: we are funding retirements when many of us cannot afford to fund our own during difficult economic times. These wheels were set in motion by contracts negotiated in times of unrealistic growth that may likely not occur again. It is time to open up these plans and relieve this unfair burden from our shoulders. Whatever other measures are pursued in order to control costs, including consolidation within and eventually with other districts, are never going to be enough if you cannot get this problem corrected. Write your congressman, for the love of God. If you need any more incentive to do so, please go to http://rocdocs.democratandchronicle.com/database/teacher-pensions-new-york and look at what Smithtown’s retirees are collecting MONTHLY. It will sicken you.

Tomorrow is the vote..vote NO NOW or our taxes are going to continue to sky rocket. Unless we doRead More something this town will continue to spiral down. More taxes aren't going to help. We need to cut expenses and get ourselves on a fiscally responsible plan.
