I love the front area of the library which looks very new and has nice spots to sit and read with a beautiful view through huge windows looking out on to the gorgeously manicured landscaping that adorns the front of the library. While the parking lot is in the back of the library, it's worth a trip out front to see the very unique design of the building and the landscaping, really looks great!

Though I never really had the chance to enter a Suffolk County library until I moved to Ronkonkoma and learned that my home library is the media Mecca that is Sachem. If you're at all familiar with the Best of LI awards that are divvied out each year, then you'll know that Sachem Public Library has almost exclusively won this accolade over the past decade. I honestly never cared too much about this fact because Sachem seemed so far, but now my newish abode is only 5 minutes away from this superb book spot. Even before I ever entered Sachem Library's doors I was already impressed. That's because I feared it would take some time to get a library card with my change of address and needing an updated license. Nope! Sachem allows you to register for a library card on their website and then they'll send you this little key chain library card tag to your home. I was amazed by this, and already excitedly looking forward to my first trip there. This came over the summer when they were in full swing of their reading programs, both for kids and adults. Even though the event was halfway over, I was able to easily sign up and was given a little welcome bag and a chance to win some prizes for my reading. Unfortunately, I was a little too busy this past summer to read at a speedy clip (wedding planning will do that to you), but this just added to the enjoyment of Sachem. When actually exploring the interior and what Sachem has to offer, there are tons of books, movies, video games, and programs available. I'm also massively impressed with Suffolk County's digital borrowing program over Nassau as well as what's out there to be inter-loaned from other Suffolk libraries to Sachem. My first trip there was to actually pick up a couple of movies I had ordered and came in for pickup quite quickly. That trip, the summer sign up, and my experiences since have also all resulted in friendly staff and a desire to return again and again. Overall, maybe libraries are a little outdated or they feel like something you haven't visited in years, but I promise you that Sachem Public Library has so much to offer (I forgot to mention the beautiful serene garden across the parking lot that you can walk through and read in!). It's easy to see why Sachem wins awards each year and effortlessly puts other libraries to shame (like my hometown one, sorry not sorry). So consider this library weirdo somebody who will continue to love Sachem.

Once you turn at the Library sign, you are entering both the public library and Shoreham Wading River High School premises. Be sure to bear right at the Security Booth and proceed all the way back to the left of the tennis courts, where the library is tucked in. This geographical challenge is the ONLY reason why I'm giving it three stars instead of four. Once there, you'll find yourself transported into another beautiful public library filled with lots of books and welcoming staff. Happy Reading!

There's also a community puzzle that people can drop by and work on. There's a third party cafe inside that's quite cute and has its own instagram. I was surprised to learn that the cafe hosts open mic nights! There are also a few private study rooms to reserve, but unfortunately they're only available to people who live in bayport bluepoint specifically. I wouldn't mind this, except when I was told this, all the rooms were open. It would be nice to allow others to use the rooms if they're available, and just prioritize bayport blue point residents, which is what my home library does. Tons of resources: plant seed swap, art crafts, and other offerings to be borrowed. Great community hub

They are in good condition and this morning were pretty well stuffed with paperbacks, hardcovers and other styles. Fiction, non-fiction and children's books. A copy of "Purpose Driven Lift" appealed to me as I've not read that before and heard much about it. The libraries are in good condition, inside and out. This is charter number 59635. The online caption reads, "These two Little Free Libraries built by Eagle Scout Erich Max Jenne placed at the park near Swezey-Avey House are stocked by donations from the Friends of the Longwood Public Library as well as community members and maintained by librarians from the Longwood Public Library. There is much to choose from for your reading enjoyment including books for young readers, teens, and adults." [Review 15320 overall, 822 of 2021, number 206 in New York.]
