The Anna Smith Strong Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), the recipient of a grant as part of the NSDAR America 250 celebration, recently donated a check for $500 to Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket to purchase historical books for the library. 

The check was presented by Chapter Regent Nancy Dorney and chapter members to Director Ted Gutmann and Head of Children’s Services Brian Debus in order to purchase books on the Revolutionary War and our first president in honor of the upcoming 250th birthday of our country.  

In addition to the check, several historical books were also donated from the private collection of DAR chapter member Patricia Cunningham.
