The Community Library Donates Tapes to Wounded Warriors WLNY TV10/55 Coverage

At the Mastic-Moriches-Shirley Community Library, Congressman Tim Bishop joined library officials, members of the U.S. Armed Forces and local veterans in shipping audiobooks donated by the Library to wounded warriors at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. New York State Senator Brian Foley, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Mark Lesko, and Suffolk County Legislator Kate Browning also attended the event.

Library staff member Liz Stokes initiated the donation effort at the suggestion of retired U.S. Army Major General Anthony Kropp and his son, Iraq War veteran U.S. Army Sergeant Tim Kropp. Once the donation was finalized, Stokes and Kropp contacted Congressman Bishop, who arranged for the 75 boxes of audiobooks to be shipped from Mastic Library to Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC via UPS at no cost.
