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.

I wonder why this is the only library in Suffolk County that does not sell used books …read more They used to have wonderful children's books . I know we had COVID , but .... really , it is time that this is over . It cannot be THAT much trouble for the staff to take care of this . Also , why no Friends of the Library ? Again , Deer Park sets themselves apart by refusing to have this very valuable resource . I believe that the head of the library does not want patrons to be involved in any decisions . This is a shame because there is so much more that can be done in this library .

I grew up with the children's section and now as an adult love taking advantage of all the HPL has to offer.

Might catch a book or art fair, maybe even a lecture depending on the day. Always clean, well organized and spacious, despite the open layout there's usually a quiet corner (within a large two floor setup) to retreat to if needed.

Stamp #2: Popped in to get my Suffolk County Public Libraries 2023 Summer Tour passport stamped. Toured around the library because I LOVE books.

I haven't checked out any books here, but here's my review from the perspective of a student who…read morecame to this library to study. There are some practical downsides to studying here. Noise: The "mezzanine and lower stacks" is the main study space with the most tables and chairs. Unfortunately, the space is next to the main entrance/front desk area without any separating doors, so it can be loud. Headphones will probably be important if you need to focus. The room is also right below the children's room, so you can sometimes hear kids footsteps running around. They also allow tutoring. There's a "quiet reading room" across the lobby from the main study area, but it is also right next to the main lobby without any separating doors, so I imagine it's also loud. There's not a lot of carpet and a lot of laminate, so noises tend to echo. Limited desks and few plugs: There are only four small desks with plugs (eight seats in total, but the tables are small and it would be super weird if someone you didn't know sat next to you, so there are functionally only four seats with accessible plugs). The quiet reading room only has one desk, and I'm not sure if there are plugs. Ambiance: In the last few years, they've installed greige laminate flooring and movable office tables with wheeled plastic chairs. The vibe has shifted from "cozy library" to "office space/cafeteria". Good things: There is a free parking lot with no time limit directly behind the library. There are only about 8-10 spots but we didn't have any issues getting a spot midday on a weekday. Bathroom is clean. There was a large community space in the basement that probably has good events. There are interesting/useful items you can check out like board games, sewing machines, etc. There's also a 3D printer.
