What's in the Library's Display Cases

The purpose of this display is to showcase to the community the beautiful treasures that are hidden in the Earth.

The mineral and fossil samples were organized and prepared by LIMAGS members Ray Giese, Gene Genova, Ron Russ and Ron Lupo especially for this display. The mineral and fossil samples come from a variety of locations including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Morocco and England. In the United States minerals and fossils were collected in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire and Oregon. Geodes, crystals, petrified wood, fossil fish, a real dinosaur egg, fossilized plants and agate slabs are just a few of the items that will be found in the showcases.

The Long Island Mineral & Geology Society was organized in 1980 and is based in the Mattituck area. LIMAGS sponsors and supports educational programs to schools and the community. Our mission is to further the earth sciences especially in the fields of mineralogy and paleontology. We have visited local schools, libraries and organizations to present programs on rocks and minerals, geology and Long Island geology. Donations of geologic samples have been given to schools to enhance their curriculums in the earth sciences. LIMAGS holds an annual mineral, gem, fossil and jewelry show each year. This year's show will be held July 28 & 29 at the Mattituck-Cutchogue Jr/Sr High School in Mattituck from 10:00 - 5:00. You will find discounted flyers at the display in lobby of the Riverhead Library.

AutoRenew

Auto Renewal Service

Effective immediately, you will now be able to sign up for our new Auto Renewal service. This new feature will provide you with an added level of convenience by automatically renewing any eligible items you have checked out three days before the items are due. To sign up for the service, you will need to log into your account and look for the "Sign Up for Auto Renew" link. Once you have opted into the service, you can expect that the system will attempt to renew your checked out items three days before they are due. You will receive an email confirming the renewal of these items, provided your e-mail address has been recorded in your account. If an item has been renewed too many times, or if too much money is owed, or if another patron has a hold on the item, the renewal will not go through, and you will receive a Courtesy Notice reminding you to return the items. This is a Patron Driven Service, so you must opt-in and sign up for it yourself.
