❤️🖤💚📚 Honoring Juneteenth

This Juneteenth, the Friends of the Gold Coast Library join communities across the nation in commemorating June 19, 1865 — the day enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Juneteenth is a day of reflection, education, celebration, and recognition of the ongoing journey toward equality and justice. It is also a reminder of the importance of preserving history, sharing stories, and learning from one another.

Libraries play an important role in connecting communities through knowledge, understanding, and diverse voices. We encourage everyone to take time to learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth.

📚 Happy Flag Day from the Friends of the Gold Coast Library!

Each year on June 14, we honor the adoption of the American flag in 1777 — a symbol of our nation’s history, unity, freedom, and the many generations who have helped shape our country.

Flag Day is a time to reflect on the values represented by the stars and stripes: liberty, resilience, and hope. It also reminds us of the importance of community, civic pride, and coming together despite our differences.

Today, we proudly celebrate the flag and all it represents for Americans past and present. ❤️🤍💙

📚 Join the Friends of the Gold Coast Library for a fascinating Author Visit featuring local author and Gold Coast patron Mary Noé!

🗓 Sunday, June 28th
⏰ 2:00 PM
📍 Gold Coast Library
146 Glen Head Road, Glen Head

Mary Noé — lawyer, writer, lecturer, and Professor at St. John’s University’s Collins College of Professional Studies — will discuss her compelling new book: The Man Who Shot J.P. Morgan: A Life of Arsenic, Anarchy, and Intrigue.

This captivating true crime story follows Harvard instructor Erich Muenter, who disappeared after his first wife died under suspicious circumstances. Years later, living under a new identity and teaching at Cornell University, Muenter became consumed by radical politics and anti-war beliefs — ultimately targeting financier J.P. Morgan Jr. on Long Island’s Gold Coast.

From Harvard University to the Gold Coast mansions of Long Island, this gripping presentation explores false identities, political extremism, scandal, and intrigue in pre–World War I America.

📖 Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Gold Coast Library.
