For our inaugural episode, we dive into the history of the Cutchogue New Suffolk Free Library with our very own Local History Librarian, Mariella Ostroski!

Special thanks to former library staff Wendy Reeve, Liz Burns, and Lauren Grant, who compiled a document about the history of the original library building which served as a great resource for this episode.

Thank you also to Christopher Bianchi and Ian Fleury at Floyd Memorial Library for generously sharing their podcasting knowledge. Check out the Floyd Memorial Library Podcast!
