Encore ... a new way to search for items in our library

Encore is a new and exciting product that gives us a new way to search for and retrieve items in our Suffolk County Libraries. Search results will include traditional results, such as books and DVD's as well as articles and information from our subscription databases. Encore is a great application to use from work or home....just remember, results show holdings from most of the Suffolk County Libraries, not just the Mastics-Moriches-Shirley Library. Any items you place on hold through Encore will be delivered to MMSCL free of charge for you to borrow. Try it out today!

Summer Reading Clubs

Be sure to visit the library, or the library web page to join our Summer Reading Clubs. There is a club for adults, teens, and children. Some of us love to read all summer, some may be more reluctant. Studies show that school-age children who don't read over the summer, have a lower reading level when they return to school in the fall. So parents...encourage your children to read all summer long.

For those who prefer listening to their books, be sure to check out the free audio downloads on our web page. The library also has a collection of books-on-tape, books-on-cd, as well as Playaways. Playaways are amazingly easy to operate, and very portable. See a library staff member for help with any of these options.
