I grew up with the children's section and now as an adult love taking advantage of all the HPL has to offer. Tons of events are happening every month, check out the bulletin boards near the entrance for interesting and fun things, be sure to visit the basement as well. 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.

It's a nice place and they are working on some construction there too, so I presume it will be even better. It also has a great classic look. I like it and they have tons of cool things going on.

Today was my third visit and the first time was a lot of HS kids, the second was very pleasant, and today was the worst!! Cellphones, dial up, and I had to ask the librarians to be quiet so I could work. Then, they had the audacity to be snippy about me in earshot. They should be embarrassed, they are a disgrace to the profession. I won't be back. There are other far nicer libraries.

The entire staff, including those recently hired, are friendly and professional in all respects. They all go out of their way to help patrons in every way possible. They make you feel welcome. I've frequented many libraries in my day and this is by far the absolute best. I highly recommend the North Babylon Public Library to all!!!

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.

I wish they had more programming for very young children- my son is 20 months and there never seems to be much offered for his age group. Everything is either for babies six to eighteen months or older kids. And everything for his age group is always at 10 AM on weekdays. Great for stay at home mothers not so much for working mothers. Too bad they were closed for renovations when I was on maternity leave in late 2021- early 2022. That would have been the only time I could have taken him to those programs

The play room was unorganized and the toys were run down and outdated. The book area of the kids section was nice and had some stem activities.

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!

Growing up during the 90s and (20)00s this place was one of my favourite libraries, and had been…read moreuntil many of the nicer and professional staff retired. A few of the remaining librarians are nice people, however their most recent hires are disrespectful, entitled, and snarky-including two of the new male employees-towards specific demographics of patrons. Specifically, there's an older female librarian who has been working there for a long time, who abuses her authority, and at the risk of sounding like a kid, she's a bully. She's bullied my community hab worker (who works with me because I'm Autistic), and I multiple times to the point that my worker felt obligated to walk on eggshells. Every time one of our phones would ring, and quickly silencing them, this librarian would come charging up to us, and threaten to have security drag us out! Once she got in my face and accused me of playing my musikk off my phone, when it was just my ringtone going off because my phone was ringing! Another time my worker set one of the chairs in front of the fireplace, but off to the side, because I was cold (it was mid-December), and because there wasn't anyone else in the cafe. 30 minutes later she came stomping up to me, got in my face (again), snarking on about how disrespectful I was being to the other patrons in the cafe by preventing them from enjoying the fireplace (no, it was just my worker and I), and that she knew I wasn't stupid and should have known better than to hog the fireplace to myself. My worker is obligated to protect me from that kind of treatment, and though she did say something to the librarian, we still had to leave, not because we did anything wrong, but because her hostility angered my worker so much! Eventually I did complain to a member of staff, but I just got laughed at instead of being taken seriously! What an unprofessional-to say the least-way to treat your patrons, especially a patron who had been coming to your library for a couple decades! Needless to say, I'm not coming back.

Thank you for giving this mama a welcoming experience. Edit: I just saw the one star review and wanted to add yes it is a small library.
