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.

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!

Tonight's event was making Summer salad. 2 different salads were prepared by Sheetal Alreja - for a seating of about 30 women in the Community room downstairs (Recipes were placed on the table from one of the librarians or assistants) (see pix) -- with her husband Gotham helping to serve and share the two very different salads. While her mom was on the sidelines holding her jewlery and rings as she put on gloves. There was pleasant interaction with the audience and it was a nice hour and a half event for the night. As there are so many types of salads and foods that can be made and shared it would be nice to have them back again.

When I visited, I sat down at one of the open desks with some other people nearby and someone was openly talking on the phone. The staff in the library did not say or do anything about the noise and stayed behind the glass at the front desk. At the same time, all of the media (CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, etc) at this place is locked up in cases so it seems to me that the security in this library has something else on their mind. You cannot visit and view the digital materials without needing to check them out which is disappointing to me as it is not in the best interest of public availability.

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.

If you like solitude but you want to eat, go to the third floor towards the windows. 3. If you need to take a nap go to the 2nd floor (quiet floor). 4. Never put a $10 or more into the copy machine ( witnessed a $50 bill disappearing into the toll and the student still seeing $0.00). 5. Not able to afford to copy your textbooks? Take pictures and transfer it to your computer or iPad (professor friendly). 6. The third floor by the boys bathroom there are outlets connected to the table, it's the perfect place to charge your electronics. 7. Always email your documents prior to printing. Never rely on just a USB portable (Microsoft 2010). 8. During the summer they do ID checks. 9. Never, NEVER, leave your headphones home. Boisterous students will come and act barbaric suddenly. Improvements: The bathrooms, and the staff. In my opinion, I think they need to hire more college students for the secretarial jobs. The women on the "Quick Print" side have such a distinct attitude, and sarcasm to the point I rather ask a dog for help. Also, they were always talking about their husbands, and love life. Hence, #9 the headphones. You're Welcome.
