This review is for Allison…read more After my parents umpteenth time indoctrinating me that " There are golden houses in books ",( Chinese proverb), reading becomes one of my joys (escapes). Now, I have become that garrulous mom to my own kid. LOL! Going to library and borrowing books my son and my indulgence. Today again, we want to coddle ourselves. As we walk in, it seems to us no one except Allison sitting in the back working on something looks like data entry ( Actually, there is one person sits behind a checkout computer later on we find out). Allison drops whatever she is doing and walks up to us asks if we need help. My son asks if he can get a book called" Statistic". Allison right way checks on her screen and unfortunately, it s out. My son face shows a slightly downhearted. But as soon as Allison says she may find something else for him. He becomes hearty as always. Two of them hit off in no second! Allison speaks "their language"!!! Whoa!!! They take off to the upper level section while I sit down on a shallow green cozy sofa resting and checking my Yelp for some lunch inspiration. My son comes up to me:"Mama, LOOK! These are so HEAVY! Like 8lbs! Just like the fish you just bought!" LOL! Then he camels his joy to the check out window. There we find out a lady behind down under. As we try to figure out how to safely carry out these treasure, Allison AGAIN comes by and gives a paper bag to my son.... At the moment I think this lady must have substantial passion toward her job and she has extremely high EQ and IQ. Allison also sweetly informs me that the books can be extended if not finished in two weeks. I smile back at her. I know my boy devours books he heart for. Thank you Allison for enriching my son and showing him altruistic tendency.

The only negative was that I was expecting a coffee machine in the cafe they have but no coffee or tea. There was only a vending machine for snacks. Tea/Coffee machine would definitely be a nice addition. But other than that it's a nice library with lots of room to spread out. Lots of private nooks to study or have group sessions. There's a huge conference room and a very nice game room, too!

The play room was unorganized and the toys were run down and outdated. The book area of the kids section was nice and had some stem activities. The rest of the library looked nice and they had a small concession area which was cool.

This is my favorite and most frequented library so far for studying (and I've been to 9 different…read morelibraries this year). There are 3 floors. The 3rd floor is a designated quiet floor. And the 2nd floor, although it's not specifically a quiet floor, is usually quiet enough for me to not need headphones. Also, because there are 3 floors, I am almost always guaranteed to find a free table. There are over 30 tables throughout the library (not including cubicles). They also have a little eating area on the first floor which is great if you plan on being there for an extended period of time/during a meal time. They have some snacks you can buy there as well. You can eat non odorous snack foods in the library, but if you have a sandwich or got food delivered, you need to eat in the cafeteria area. Overall, this is my absolute favorite library. Plus all the staff has been very kind to me and super helpful. 10/10 would recommend if you need a quiet place to study for the day!

Absolutely They also offer notarization, which is a very convenient service to have. I also really appreciate the variety of programs available. I've been taking my son to one of the children's programs, and he really enjoys it. My main concern is the cleanliness in the children's section. I think that area could use more attention, especially around the Lego area and the kids' toys in terms of regular cleaning and disinfecting. The carpets in the children's section also seem like they could be deep cleaned more often. Honestly, I think more frequent carpet cleaning would benefit this location and many other library branches across Long Island as well.

This person walked in and started talking (more like screaming to me) like she was making a presentation to a crowd. Small conversations or stepping outside for a chat would be a nice, logical normal thing to do. Not to mention polite thing to do.

Aren't libraries supposed to be damp, dusty dungeons? Not when you're dropping CSH taxes :D. Besides this room there are small meeting rooms, tutor rooms, a children's center, a porch with chairs, plenty of computers to use, and a main room that looks like an awesome lodge. There are some fatty leather chairs around this place that I would take home and put in my house. The dvd selection is large, you can download e-books to your tablet and rumor is there are some books somewhere around here. No joke, this is the best library I have ever seen. Take a second to enjoy the quiet and the view here anytime you can.

Outdoor seating is insight, and is probably available when it gets warmer... Besides the regular library facilities and activities are classes, I must mention the bright and airy space, the high ceiling for the main floor, many computers on first and second floors, huge selection of dvds, and free WiFi are reasons of this one better than other Great Neck Libraries. If you don't find your book, you can look for it through the network and request it to be sent to this library. I find this library very pleasant and quiet. As the kids room and multiple purpose rooms are downstairs with doors near the restrooms, I don't hear much of kids playing sound when I am on the main floor. You can be pretty productive and get some mind intensive jobs done in here.
