Everyone is invited on Thursday, June 30th at Orchard Beach for our annual Bronx fireworks celebration day. Every year, this event unites thousands of people in our shared pride of the history of our country and all that this great county has accomplished.

However, these accomplishments have not been achieved without great sacrifice. As we celebrate this Fourth of July, we must also salute and honor those men and women of our U.S. Military who defend and preserve our great nation every day.

The City Island Branch of the New York Public Library is located in the middle of a mile long, three-block wide stretch of land known as City Island, which is located on Long Island Sound.
