Smithtown Building Closed

Due to the storm that occurred during the early morning hours of August 19, which caused torrential flooding, our Smithtown Building suffered catastrophic damage to its lower level. Therefore, until further notice, our Smithtown Building will be closed while we continue to assess the damage and begin to rebuild.  Our other three buildings remain open to assist our patrons.

Social Worker Service

Social Work Service

A social worker from the Stony Brook University's School of Social Welfare will be on-site at the Nesconset Building each week on Wednesdays and Fridays during designated hours to answer your questions in a quiet and confidential environment.  They can answer questions, help with filling out forms or seek referrals. Inquiries that they may assist with include, but are not limited to, employment/job search, housing, paying utility bills, applying for benefits, education, medical assistance, mental health issues, bullying, domestic abuse, substance use, LGBTQIA+ topics, care coordination and voting pre-registration.

This service is open to all ages.  Appointments are not required but strongly encouraged. Appointments can be made by calling (631) 360-2480 x225 or by email at socialworker@smithlib.org.

The social worker is available to answer questions but are not a therapist; referrals will be given to people looking for clinical therapy. They are a mandated reporter for cases of neglect, abuse or harm.

 

For more information, please contact Amanda Lentino at (631) 360-2480 x222.
