If you've dropped by the Reading Sanctuary recently, you may be wondering, "Why is there a giant T. rex skull in the middle of the library?" If you haven't visited us in a while, surprise! There's a giant T. Rex skull in the middle of the library!🦖

This summer, we're celebrating the joy of discovery with our Summer Reading Club theme, Unearth a Story. From dinosaurs and fossils to hidden histories and community stories, there's something waiting to be uncovered by everyone.

Dinosaur enthusiast and artist, Aaron Boothe is passionate about sharing his love of prehistoric life with the public. For the past three years, he has exhibited his dinosaur-inspired artwork in libraries across Long Island. This summer, visitors can explore several of his pieces, including a LIFE-SIZE, 3D-printed T. rex skull right here!

Stop by to see this incredible display and learn more about these fascinating creatures!

Have you seen the T. rex yet? Share your photos with us!🦕
