It took…read moreplace on the 2nd floor and the area is next to a bunch of windows so you can see outside facing the library parking lot and street. A lot of natural light comes in and it's a big space for open play with a ton of toy options and a table just for coloring. The one negative is once open play is over (about an hour), they put away all the toys. I've been to other libraries where they leave the toys out for the children to play with as long as the library is open. The parking lot is very big and there were plenty of spots when I went, which was a weekday at 4:30pm. I liked how the open play was in the middle of the day as early times don't work for my family's schedule.

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.

If jurors forgot their juror summons they were able to have it reprinted on site. There is a large jury holding room and a jury lounge off to the side. The lounge was less crowded so I waited there most of the time. The speaker system was set up so you could hear the announcements from either space. Jurors were repeatedly thanked by the people making the announcements and the informational videos for taking time out of their busy schedule to serve. It was nice to feel appreciated. About 30 minutes after arrival time juror ballots and information cards were collected. If your ballot was pulled your name would be announced and you would report to a juror room. There they take attendance and jurors would fill out questionnaires if required by the judge. Then the jurors would be escorted to the courtroom where the juror selection process would take place. Then selection starts with jurors who wish to be excused for scheduling issues such as travel during the trial period or other reasons for not being able to serve. After that 14 jurors (12 main and 2 alternate) are chosen and questioned by the attorneys. Then the jurors are chosen from the 14. If necessary the process repeats with another round. Jurors not chosen needed to report back to the holding area. Back at the holding area jurors would wait until released. Jurors were released for lunch from 12:30pm to 2:00pm. The day ends at 5pm unless released earlier. Before being released jurors received a letter as a proof of service. The juror selection process seemed long and tedious. Not sure if it can be streamlined somehow. Upon returning to the holding area after lunch it was not clear that the jury pool was already released (probably before lunch when I was away during juror selection). I ended up waiting around for 45 minutes before finding someone to ask and getting my proof of service. Posting signs in the juror holding area or text/email notifications would solve this. Interestingly there was a mobile mammography unit parked outside of the building. You could get a mammogram if you were insured, had a referral from your doctor and didn't have a mammogram in the last year. It was a good way to multitask when waiting around in the holding area if it was a need. As for food and snacks there was a cafe downstairs that I didn't visit. There were signs to get a free coffee by signing up at a link revealed with a QR code.
