The Gold Coast Public Library welcomed the public into its new building with a soft opening that drew hundreds of residents eager to explore the long-awaited space.

Library Director Michael Morea said the turnout exceeded expectations, with an estimated 250 to 300 community members visiting throughout last Friday.

The project has been years in the making. Voters approved the plan in December 2020, with construction beginning after site plan approval in 2023. The library received its certificate of occupancy last week, allowing doors to open to the public.

“I think the community has been looking to extend the library, more or less since the moment it opened,” Morea explained, referring to the library’s incorporation in 2005, “So we were able to build much bigger, 2.6 acres wholly owned by the community. There’s no renting involved.”

💛 February is a time to reconnect with our “why.”

Meet Lauren Peart, Founder & Principal Agent of The Peart Agency, where protection meets purpose.

For Lauren, what she loves most about her business is helping clients protect what matters most — their families, their homes, and the businesses they’ve worked so hard to build. As a trusted advisor, she brings clarity and reassurance during moments when confidence and understanding matter most.

There’s nothing more rewarding than hearing a client say they finally understand their coverage — and knowing they feel secure about the future. That peace of mind is what fuels her work every day.

Built on trust, care, and consistency, The Peart Agency reflects the same values that strengthen our GCBA community. Relationships, collaboration, and referrals rooted in integrity are what help our businesses grow — even in the slower seasons.

📍 The Peart Agency
1005 Glen Cove Avenue, Suite 103
Glen Head, NY 11545

We’re grateful to have Lauren as part of our network and look forward to continuing to build momentum together — especially at Business in Bloom this March. 🌸
