    The librarians are extremely rude and noisy. They chat incessantly and are always irritated.read more

    First Impression - WOW, this is a library? It looked like it could be a museum or arts/culture…read morecenter from the parking lot (yes, a real parking lot)! And between the artsy appearance and sculpture like garden grounds, it may as well be a local park. It is huge and has multi-levels. Fancy inside and out. Very clean and well managed. This is not your typical library - at least not based on the NYC/Queens branches. What a difference when you cross that county line. I ventured here at the suggestion of a friend who told me about the reading time for the younger set and for the kids' community room. So this review is based solely on the Children's area and section (lower level). Just walking in, huge space, brightly lit, welcoming, customer service desk right there. Media room on the right. (You can ask for tickets to local community parks and museums, events and the like - see postings on the bulletin wall). Upon descending to the lower level, there are some nice mixed use rooms, mini classrooms and lab room settings, art installations on the walls (see pics), and even a snack/vending machine area. No library I have been to ever allowed food, let alone offering an area to purchase and enjoy it! The children's library has spacious seating areas and there's an exit to the garden grounds from there. There's also an ipad station, limited to 20 mins. per user to keep it rotating and fair. It is a public space. And there's a community play room for the really young set (ages 6 and under). Soft play space and toys. Very cool. The shelves are stocked with books for pre-K to High School level reading. Art work from the local school is featured on top. Makes for a very nice visual. One side note: the library location I went to was called the Great Neck Main Branch. So in case, the address is 159 Bayview Avenue, NOT the one listed above in this Yelp listing...not sure why the address didn't come up but it is Great Neck Road...perhaps the GPS has modified? FYI. PLEASE note the address if you want to see the library I saw, in case I checked in at the wrong one. (Apologies in advance). Google maps shows 4 locations ... Bayview is one of them. I am discovering based on other Yelp reviews that we may not be talking about the same locale or it was likely renovated since (those posts were from 2015) and everything here looks BRAND NEW. I would totally come here again to explore more.
