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

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!

Upon arriving there was amble parking behind the library. I then proceeded to enter the lobby and the circulation desk. Everything seemed up to date and everyone was very efficient. I told the receptionist I was there for the Author event and she contacted Maryellen and she told me to go upstairs the event room. There 6 tables set up, a stage with a big screen monitor, computer at the podium and a microphone. Chairs were setup for the audience. There were six authors in all and we each had an opportunity to speak about our books. The event was well organized and well attended and I was able to meet the other authors and some members of the audience. This library always has something going on. The community is fortunate to have such a library in the area. At some point I would like to return to speak more about my work. Thanks to Maryellen for all ran smoothly.

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.

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 currently have my youngest niece enrolled at Hofstra, who also had her HS graduation here, and my other niece had her college graduation held at Hofstra. I've been to the university several times, for graduation ceremonies, and to help cousins move into their dorms and moving out. The school is very easy to navigate. There's clear signs all throughout, and the parking lots of heavenly lit at night. There's always onsite security cruising around, which is a plus and gives that extra layer of protection that you, and your family who are attending are safe. The events, and student get togethers that I so often hear about are all planned by the student council, and they always seem well organized and though out, and fun might I add! You can always find something going on at the campus, planned and hosted by the students themselves. Emily, loves it here. She's forever ranting and raving about the events, meetings, after school events, bake sales, culture nights etc. All of which she helps to plan as she's the head of the student council. If you're a parent thinking to send your child here to further their education, no need to think twice. It's a great private school. The beautiful and historic Dutch estate has been ranked as a top schools in the US for many years in a row. You and your child will love and appreciate the history Hofstra has.

Mid-bite this angry frustrated tea towel came over yelling at us to get out if we want to eat anything when he clearly told us we could eat in the snack area. Don't go here before studying the rule book or this guy will definitely pull an angry bird on you.
