The Central Islip Public Library will make every reasonable effort to open to the public as scheduled, consistent with safe access for the public and staff.

The library will close, delay opening or close ahead of schedule when the weather becomes hazardous to the health and/or safety of the public and/or library staff.

If the Central Islip Union Free School District closes due to weather conditions, the Central Islip Public Library will also be closed. If there is a delay in opening of the Central Islip Union Free School District, the library will also observe a delay in opening.

If severe weather and/or emergency conditions arise during the day and the library is to close early, library patrons already in the building will be notified immediately.

Any available means to notify the public of a deviation of operating hours will be utilized (telephone system, website and media outlets).
