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. There are some libraries that have a closed play areas,making it much easier to navigate. Plainview and Syosset libraries are just two that have a closed area, which is easier. The librarians at the north merrick library were very nice and helpful

If you haven't gone to your library recently go now! Not just books, but DVDs, Blue Ray's, free…read moremuseum passes, computers, printers, notary services, bus trips (for a cost), seeds for your garden, free passes to parks like Westbury Gardens, pickleball raquets, lawn signs to show your new baby details, actual DVD players, audio book players, lectures, online book apps like Libby, cooking classes, craft classes and so much more. 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. Some you watch and some you make along with the host. You always get samples! If you think your library only offers books, you're so wrong. Support your libraries!

Decent local library with a rather nice children's section…read more Came here to check out the children's area with our toddler and was not disappointed. They have plenty of toys and sensory items for them to play with. They also have a little puppet area and a large computer section. The children's area is fully separate from the main library, which is nice.

She was so sweet and she got up and went and found the book for me and brought it back to the desk! She couldn't have been nicer and more helpful! She even took the time to tell us about a summer program that Suffolk County is running in the libraries. I didn't get her name but the woman who checked out my book was very nice too. Copiague has a very nice library!

I love all of the opportunities that this library has for its patrons. I often use the…read morecomplimentary museum passes. Most of the passes you can print from home, but there are a few where you need to pick the pass up from the library. I especially like to use the empire pass to get free admission to beaches and state parks. The library has a good selection of video games, DVD and blue rays. I find myself using this perk less often now with streaming being more convenient, but I will occasionally borrow a series that streams from a platform that I do not subscribe to or to avoid commercials. There are programs for patrons of all ages. Summer reading programs with some incentives are for adults, teens and children. My niece has been enjoying tots at night and story time. She also loves the children's area that has a kitchen, cashier stand, doll houses, puppet theater and Lego table. The staff are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. It's great to see them when visiting.

I love taking my daughter here for the programs they have for the kids. There is a play area for kids with lots of toys and a sensory toy area as well with a few toys. They have seasonal reading clubs for kids to raffle for prizes. There are also lots of programs for kids and adults to utilize. There are also museum passes available to rent. Some passes now are digital to print out and some are still physical passes. Each have different regulations of how many admissions and rules which are listed on the library website.

None of the tables had any outlets so if you needed something charged then tough luck. Also, they do not have their hours updated online. I thought I could stay until 5 (like it said online). Instead, they told me it was "summer hours" and they closed at 1. I didn't have my work completed and was annoyed that I was only able to spend an hour there. Overall not a great library and there are much better ones in the area.

Today was my third visit and the first time was a lot of HS kids, the second was very pleasant, and today was the worst!! Cellphones, dial up, and I had to ask the librarians to be quiet so I could work. Then, they had the audacity to be snippy about me in earshot. They should be embarrassed, they are a disgrace to the profession. I won't be back. There are other far nicer libraries.

The entire staff, including those recently hired, are friendly and professional in all respects. They all go out of their way to help patrons in every way possible. They make you feel welcome.
