The new, larger children's card catalog in a photograph taken on the day of the open house celebrating the completion of the library's expansion program..  The posts flanking the catalog mark the original exterior east wall.  The expansion added the bookstack area seen behind the catalog.  Over the next decade, the children's collection would double and all the empty shelf room would be completely filled.  In 1991, the library computerized and this card catalog was replaced with four opacs (online public access catalogs).
Photograph, dated 1985, from the collection of Sayville Library.
