Community News:
Webster resident Mike Shtengrat has become a local
celebrity around town, for selling his jars of honey.
Last week Mike was in a car accident, and we are very
happy to hear he is doing well and already back
selling honey!
Mike and his family are longtime Webster residents,
having immigrated from Ukraine in 1999. Making
honey started as a retirement hobby for Mike about
10 years ago and true to form, even an accident could
not keep him from his beekeeping the next day.
You can find Mike selling honey on the roadside, both
in Webster and Penfield. He can be found most days
at a table with an umbrella for shade, in all kinds of
weather. To find Mike’s daily locations for sales,
check out the Honeyman Facebook Page. Photo Courtesy Honeyman Facebook Page
All of Webster wishes you a speedy recovery Mike!
Friends of Webster Trails:
Thank you to Bud, Craig, Linda,
Tom, Fred, Denise, Ron, the
youth mountain biking group

who volunteered to move and
place gravel and remove rock
and cut roots from the trails at
the Bird Sanctuary Trail and
the Chiyoda Trail.
We appreciate all of the hard
work these volunteers do to
keep Webster’s trails in great
condition for all of our

Sensory Inclusive Designation
The Webster Public Library has partnered with KultureCity to make the library
sensory inclusive! Sensory bags, equipped with noise canceling headphones,
fidget tools, verbal cue cards, and weighted lap pads will also be available to all
guests who may feel overwhelmed by the environment.
These individuals will also be able to use a dedicated sensory area with a
sensory station for those who may need a quieter and more secure environment. We are glad for the
chance to make the library a more welcoming and inclusive place for all our community!
Used Book Donations
The Friends of the Webster Public Library
regret that we will not be accepting book
donations temporarily. We will begin
accepting donations later in the fall of this
year following our Fall Indoor Book Sale.
We are compelled to make this decision
because we simply have no more room to
store books.
Thanks to the very generous book
donations we have received from the
community over the past several months,
we have more books than space allows.
Also, thanks to those generous donations
we will have many wonderful books to offer
at our sale in October!
If you have books to donate in the
meantime, please check with other area
libraries or drop the books at the Savers or
Goodwill donation centers. We apologize
for any inconvenience and thank for your
past generosity and your understanding of
our temporary storage situation.
