<p>Today on the Floyd Memorial Library Podcast, we're joined by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, one of New York's longest-serving statewide elected officials. Since taking office in 2007, Comptroller DiNapoli has overseen the state's finances, safeguarded the New York State Common Retirement Fund, conducted audits of state agencies and local governments, and worked to promote transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility across New York.</p><p>A lifelong public servant, Comptroller DiNapoli began his career in the New York State Assembly, where he served for more than two decades before being elected Comptroller. Throughout his years in public office, he has worked with communities large and small, gaining a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing New Yorkers in every corner of the state.</p><p>In our conversation, we begin with his early life and the experiences that inspired his commitment to public service before exploring the role of the State Comptroller and its impact on everyday New Yorkers. We also discuss the future of local communities, the importance of transparency in government, the vital role public libraries play in civic life, and what continues to give him hope for the future of New York State.</p><p><br></p>

<p>Today we're joined by Mary Korpi, author of The Lady Lighthouse Keeper and a docent at Horton Point Lighthouse. Through her work welcoming visitors and sharing the history of one of the North Fork's most recognizable landmarks, Mary developed a fascination with Stella Prince, the only woman to serve as lighthouse keeper at Horton Point. That research eventually became The Lady Lighthouse Keeper, a historical novel that has introduced readers to Stella's remarkable story and helped preserve an important chapter of local history.</p><p>Mary's story is also a reminder that places like Horton Point Lighthouse are sustained not only by their history, but by the dedicated volunteers who give their time to welcome visitors, share local stories, and preserve these landmarks for future generations. Their commitment keeps the lighthouse and the stories it holds alive.</p><p>In our conversation, Mary reflects on her life and background, the path that eventually brought her to the North Fork, and how she became involved with Horton Point Lighthouse. We also discuss the inspiration behind her book, the research that brought Stella Prince's story to life, and why preserving local history continues to matter for future generations.</p><p><br></p>

<p>Today we're joined by Allan Wexler, an artist whose work exists at the intersection of art, architecture, design, and everyday life. Raised in Connecticut, Allan developed an early fascination with the built environment and the ordinary objects that shape our daily routines. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, he has created sculptures, installations, and conceptual works that challenge the boundaries between art and function.</p><p>Working with familiar materials and domestic forms, Allan transforms furniture, tools, and everyday spaces into thought-provoking works that ask us to reconsider how we live and interact with the world around us. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in numerous museum and public collections, earning recognition for its unique blend of artistic vision and practical design.</p><p>Now a longtime resident of the North Fork, Allan reflects on the experiences that shaped his creative life, the evolution of his work, and the changes he has witnessed on the East End over the years. Through this conversation, we explore not only an artistic career, but a lifetime spent observing, building, and reimagining the spaces we inhabit.</p><p><br></p>
