A Bibliography of Resources in the Northport-East Northport Public Library. Beat author Jack Kerouac lived in Northport during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Because of continuing interest in his time in Northport and in two items owned by the library, a typescript of Kerouac's first book, The Town and the City, and an oral history interview with the writer, the library has developed an extensive Kerouac collection. This publication has been prepared as a guide to that collection. It also includes information about other Jack Kerouac resources.
