Syosset’s ‘Back To The Future’ Week

In the classic movie Back To The Future, Marty McFly traveled back in time to 1955 and then into the future to Oct. 21, 2015, where he had a preview of the future.

Beginning Monday, Oct. 19, and ending Sunday, Oct. 25, take a step into the future and help fill a children’s time capsule that will be opened in 30 years on Oct. 21, 2045.

On Oct. 20, join the Syosset library for a time travel book discussion on The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells by Andrew Sean Greer at 1:30 p.m. Books will be available at the circulation desk. Then, on Oct. 21, the Syosset library screens Back To The Future at 2 and 6 p.m. And after the local history program, Syosset in the 1950s on Oct. 22, come back to the library on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 1 p.m., for a program on the DeLorean. The classic car, which plays a central part in the Back to the Future films, will be on display in the front parking lot. Dr. Dave Delman, president of the Long Island-New York DeLorean Motor Club, will talk about the car, its maker and the iconic movie.

Also on Oct. 24, the Syosset library’s creation station will be open for attendees to come and see demonstrations of 3D printers and more, and take home a 3D printed Flux Capacitor, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
