I mean, what's not to love about this place?…read more The library is way more than books nowadays. You can rent movies, music, and even gaming consoles and other tech. You can get museum passes for locations on LI and NYC. ALL FOR FREE. (provided you register for a card in your local area). Even for a fee there's events your parents can attend, kid events. A park nearby, and a pristine building with free wifi, AC and a wonderful staff. Support your local library y'all!

Or maybe it was it just didn't have a sign? Anyway it's fabulous now. This branch of the Smithtown library has a large kids area and tons of computers for you to use in the center of the library. Everyone that works here has always been super helpful and friendly. They have a lot of activities for the children and I've seen tutoring signs for the teens. I've even donated blood during a blood drive hosted by the library. It's a great place to get some work done if you get too easily distracted in your home (me).

In stark contrast with its immediate environs, this place is straight ballin'..no lie, you know…read morethis. That being said, they were only a week off of a bedbug infestation, so I was weary to pick up the items I had on reserve, but the kind folks behind the desk quelled my fears. Quick shot off the LIE on the way home, and pretty darn spacious--might be my new go-to library. Unfortunately, they simultaneously push unreasonable policies regarding returns, which involve slowly checking each item back in while others wait on the single line regardless of your intentions, and they include two index cards (one with their unwavering, impossible-to-monitor policy) and two paper clips with each ILL. Oh, and the staff can get snappy. Ultimately, it's a near-immaculate respite for random passersby, but gets sticky when you actually want to use the services here. HUGE caveat/casualty of the environs: no dropoff box Small/should-be-irrelevant sidenote: little/no cell service (VZW)

Stamp #7 on my Suffolk County Public Libraries 2023 Summer Tour…read more Growing up in the area, this lovely library was the main ONE of the four that my family frequented. The Smithtown Library also has three smaller branches (Kings Park, Commack and Nesconset) under it. It has changed quite a bit since I was a kid, but it such a beautiful way. For me it personally it brought back so many fond memories! This Library (And the Kings Park branch) helped opened my world to wonder, curiosity and discovery. EVERYONE should be so lucky!! I recommend "checking out" this public library. You'll be in for a treat.

The Children's Library…read moreis a standout --it's warm, inviting, and filled with resources to spark curiosity and learning. One of the highlights for us is their collection of Tonie boxes and individual Tonies available for borrowing. These are such a creative and engaging way for kids to enjoy stories and songs, and it's wonderful to have the opportunity to explore them before committing to buy on our own. The library also offers a great lineup of kids' programs that are perfect for little ones aged 2-5. From interactive read-along sessions to holiday-themed events, the programs are thoughtfully designed to keep young minds engaged while making learning fun. My 3 year old loves coming to this library and I look forward to taking her :)

Even though I'm not in that field anymore due to the physical nature of it, I felt that it was a very pleasant, inclusive class. Where my opinion of Suffolk sours dramatically is when I took an Electrical Assembly with an instructor David E. I am really new to soldering and I expected more professionalism. Instead, he complained that we students are giving him a headache. One time, I was taking a pen out and he came over and asked what I'm taking out of my bag. It was a pen. It was just very inappropriate. He would just make passive aggressive comments and it was very hard to work with him. I've never soldered before so of course I'm going to make mistakes. I need constructive feedback not sarcasm. Terrible instructor.

The children's section is lackluster. I'm originally from Town of Huntington, which had a robust…read morechildren's section. Smithtown Commack branch children's section is often cramped and noisy. They have a less robust selection of books to choose from compared to the Town of Huntington Commack Library. Many of the available toys are outdated/missing pieces. The summer reading program could be improved as well. The children aren't able to earn as frequently as they did in the past. Rather than having an opportunity to earn a large prize through raffle tickets at the end of an 8 week program, young children would benefit more from immediate reinforcement, such as a sticker to choose from after reading a certain number of books. Hoping improvements are made in the future. Will continue to use the Town of Huntington location to at least take out books until improvements are made.

Scholastic knows this and we also take our profit in scholastic dollars. Setting up my fair today Scholastic BLOCKED us from offering the kids a discount. They literally put a block on our register. When I called they said there was a back door way of doing it that is absurd and to time consuming. It's disgusting the way they treat their clients and worse children. We will no longer be able to offer a discount and just an fyi no one had the consideration to tell us of this block. If I hadn't been giving a tutorial on the register to I never would have known until Monday. It's really a shame how wrong they are.
