My little ones had a great time spending an afternoon there this past weekend.

The negative is that the play area for toddlers is not self contained , so our toddler of course wanted to walk around the corridor and go out.

All for fracquets, the Town of Hempstead libraries share benefits. I go to East Meadow library every month for a lecture on gardening. I try to go to all the cooking classes at North Merrick Library.

In around May, the library provided curbside pick up / walk in pick up services so that we were able to reserve books online to continue my son's reading throughout this difficult time. The staffs also worked so hard to keep the children's programs running through Zoom during summer. My younger kids enjoy the crafts / story time with Mrs. Gregory, music and movement program and making 3-D animals a lot. My oldest one participated in the summer reading program as well as a few Game Nights/Trivia and Family Bingo. I would say that we have spent more time together as a family to participate in various programs with the library this year than before.
