...it's the Library! When I was walking around yesterday, looking for all the movie activities, I walked past the children's library and saw all the tulips. I figured it was worth a shot. It is such a beautiful, classic building, and the Tulips are such a beautiful touch. Sea Cliff has one of the 11 oldest public libraries in Nassau County, having been founded by the Sea Cliff Improvement Association in 1894. The library then offered books, German lessons, drawing classes, and for the men, dominoes and smoking. Dominoes and smoking??? In a library? In 1914, Mrs. Mary L. Stenson purchased land and built this building to honor her husband. On May 12, 1915, Stenson Memorial Library, now the Children’s Library, formerly opened to the public.
Wonderful story - beautiful Library and tulips, of course.
