Blue Point is a hamlet and census-designated place in Suffolk County on Long Island, New York, United States.
20.0% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
When the Bayport and Blue Point school districts merged in 1952, the library officially became the Bayport-Blue Point Library, and it is a school district public library, overseen by the New York State Education Department[5] The library’s collection began from donated books, with tradition stating that the donated books were gathered, home by home, via wheelbarrow.
Today, the library’s logo is a wheelbarrow containing books, paying homage to the institution’s beginnings.
Two additions to the building have made the library almost three times its original size.
The convent, which had served as a novitiate, retreat center and most recently a retirement home for the Ursuline Sisters of Tildonk, is scheduled to undergo a $13,197,800 renovation to convert the home into a 28,000 square foot public library with additional program and collection space, state-of the-art technology, an outdoor Community Garden, and more.
