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

I've been living in Westbury for about 9 months now and one of the first things I did when I moved…read moreinto the area was securing my Westbury Memorial Public Library card. I showed the librarian my current driver's license that shows both my name and current address. The librarian was very friendly and welcoming. I've received the library's monthly newsletter that lists the many free programs (book club meet ups, movie nights, craft clubs, author events, and so much more). I've participated in the Defensive Driving six-hour class with Empire Safety Council on a Saturday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. The fee was $35 and it meets in the meeting room. Though Westbury Memorial Public Library has a great selection of items, I've also used the interlibrary loan many times. This is a free library service that allows people to request books, movies, games, etc. not at Westbury Memorial Public Library. Most requests for books and media items are filled within a week, which is very convenient and quick. Items that are available for pickup is behind the circulation desk and the librarian will get it for you after your library card is scanned. Another great service is complimentary passes to museum and cultural sites. I've reserved free family passes to Vanderbilt Museum, Mansion and Planetarium, Old Westbury Gardens, and Cradle for Aviation. The passes for Vanderbilt Museum, Mansion and Planetarium and Old Westbury Gardens were both electronic. The Cradle for Aviation pass is a physical one. Most recently, I joined and completed the Adult Summer Reading challenge from Monday, June 29 - Monday, August 17, 2026. On the first day, I picked up a swag bag at the Reference Desk. After every book I read, I filled out a raffle bookmark and dropped it in the box back at the library. Prizes were drawn each week. Unfortunately, I did not win any of the prizes, but it was fun to participate. Children's Library is a separate building and they have switch games to borrow. Libraries support my reading obsession in the most cost-efficient way and offer so much more. Westbury Memorial Public Library is a great community library and I am glad I am a member. All the staff I've interacted with have been very friendly.

One of these days I'' get down to the outdoor lower level and discover what they were trying to communicate with such an exciting space. I wonder if the old children's library is still together downstairs. If I recall it has a magnificent circular desk. Very stately and scholarly for a Children's Library.

Just scan the card and wait your turn. You can print up to 10 pages per day. If you need more printed there's an option to pay, but you can't pay for it. I've spoken to the librarian who said you can only print only 10 pages. They have about 4 self check out stations in the center of the Library which is a breeze to use. If you are unfamiliar, the librarian's desk is right behind the checkout stations and they are friendly and courteous. There is only 1 return center but it doesn't take that long. They have a decent selection of DVDs and OK selection of music. This is a small Library but seems to have all the essentials. They have a children's area which is bright and is separated from the adult area. They have a tiny Teen room as well as a small classroom in the back. There is one computer dedicated as a catalog. They have a decent selection of books but not everything since it is very small. You can always order whatever book you want and they will notify you via email when it is ready to pick up so its not impossible to find /have delivered what you are looking for.
