The Westhampton Free Library has been awarded an American Star designation from Library Journal again this year. This is the tenth year in a row that Westhampton Free Library has received this distinction and the sixth year in a row that the Library has received five star status from the oldest and most respected publication covering the library field. Library Journal Star ratings are based on a library’s annual number of patron visits, circulation, program attendance, and public Internet computer use. This data is reported yearly by public libraries to their state library agencies and compiled nationally by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

“We work very hard to offer programs that enhance the Westhampton Beach
community and provide our patrons with services that are helpful and educational,” said
Westhampton Free Library Director Danielle Waskiewicz. “This award shows that the
community appreciates these efforts.”
