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!

The children's playroom is a bit small but contained which is very helpful for toddlers. They have a toy doll house, barn, and kitchen along with some dinosaurs, trucks, and blocks.

I am writing to commend the significant improvements and positive changes at the Wyandanch Public…read moreLibrary, which I have considered my home library for many years. The current selection of adult programming is a huge success. I especially appreciate that the library is offering different and engaging programs--such as cooking, crafts, and Bingo--those patrons genuinely enjoy, unlike some of the less popular offerings in the past. My 80-year-old mother attended a Bingo program last year and had a wonderful time, which was the first time she truly enjoyed a library activity. I also want to specifically recognize the exceptional staff: - A new Indian Librarian is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and always smiling. I have been impressed by her efforts to engage patrons, especially by demonstrating how to use digital resources like Libby for audiobooks and reading on tablets, as well as accessing databases for Civil Service exams and language learning. She efficiently assists multiple patrons at once, and her teaching style--like showing people how to print from their phones--empowers patrons to be self-sufficient. - Laurie at the Circulation Desk is also excellent. She is always helpful with services like faxing, copying, and handling other circulation-related questions. The hard work of the librarians and clerks is truly enhancing the library's reputation in the community. I hope these dedicated and hardworking staff members remain with the library. Thank you for your leadership in making these positive changes. I am proud of our library and hope it continues on this excellent trajectory.

This must be one of the worst libraries in Long Island . It is unfortunate that the few dedicated…read morehardworking staff are associated with the library. I lived in Wyandanch for many years before my family and I moved out east (The Hamptons).I attended programs at the library when good, educational programs were being offered. A few years ago , a new Children's Librarian started coming in a few days a week . She was such a breath of fresh air .Friendly and cheerful with the children , offered programs that were fun and inclusive . Most of all, she was ever ready to discuss and offer suggestions to parents. She had so many resources on the display table and maintained a clen, friendly atmosphere within the children's section. She was very good at art too. Each month , she had a different display and would make posters for Black History and Women's History month . Her collage on the display board were extremely beautiful .She is a bundle of talent . Last year she made a very beautiful Women's History Month display collage with news papers and included pictures of famous women inspiring quotes, authors, politicians, inventors, performing artists and more. It was simply inspirational ! Every one that sees any of her creations always had a good comment. My family and I were at the library before we moved away last year and we were shocked at how disorganized the section has become . Worst still, the desk was equally untidy . The Librarian who is there now should be ashamed , so should her Supervisor. I have never expressed my opinion publicly before , this is the first time and it's all because I heard a new library director has been appointed. I hope the library board and new director can bring back this incredibly talented librarian. She's a treasure ! J.Carlos.

We've taken the AAPR drivers Ed classes once every 3 yrs. You learn a lot bc traffic laws change and you get a deduction on your car insurance bill. I go there mainly to get my hands on new best sellers in historical fiction. But they have a good selection in every genre. If they don't have what you request, they will find it for you. I love reading almost anything. Libraries have that special smell, is it the books or the feeling of education? I'll be ordering soon (love the online action) and then stopping in to say hi and look around. And just for the record, ANYONE who bans books or destroys them is a criminal.

Check out their website, deerparklibrary.org and their Instagram page, #deerparklibrary, to see all what they have to offer. Today I took a defensive driving course here. It was taught by National Traffic Safety instructor, Thomas K, who was thorough and direct, and he encouraged class participation. Some students shared fascinating tales about their driving experiences. Today's class took place in the Dina A. Reilly Community Room, and it lasted six hours with a few 15 minute breaks and one half an hour lunch break. Thomas engaged the class with audio-visuals. For example, he put on a short film, featuring a family grieving about the death of their relative. He was a highway construction worker who was killed on the job by a driver who failed to obey a "slow down" sign. Course completion certificates will be mailed with an expected arrival date of six weeks. Point reductions and insurance discounts will be retroactive to today's date. Some students brewed beverages from the coffee and tea Keurig pods that were placed on the coffee table. Some of us helped ourselves to some Entenmann's milk chocolate chip cookies as well. Deer Park residency is not a pre-requisite for the class. Stop by the Registration Desk to register. The class costs $25, and one is held several times a year. The four star review is due to feedback from my classmates. Many found the class overcrowded and preferred that it be held in a larger room. Others found Thomas boring and think that he could have showed us more short films.
