Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library

Super quiet, peaceful, place to get some work done; but parking is difficult to find.

so, my last review of this library was in sept. now, i’ve been going to this library since i was a kid. & it never really bothered me before because I always went downstairs to study, but it’s been packed lately. lots of standardized exams coming up i guess. whatever, that’s fine. heck, i’m in the same boat. BUT, WOW. upstairs, if you go in the back. from 9AM to, oh i would say about 3PM there are a group of old men who just sit there and TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK. seriously just yap yap yap about nonsense. not a single book is open, nor do they take any out. and they are most certainly NOT using their ‘Inside” voices. it’s like they use the library as their own personal hang out or living room.
they’re senior citizens so i just don’t have the heart to shush them. unfortunately for me. and fortunately for them, my parents raised me better than that. so, i just sat there trying to focus on my books (yes, even with ear plugs you can hear them oh-​so clearly). but, you would think they would have some manners or consideration for others around them. because literally every other person there glares at them. they HAVE to know that everyone is annoyed. but, they really are just so rude. the end. back to studying.

My favorite library. Staff are great and very helpful. I can always find books here or the librarians can help you request books that aren’t in the library but in the Nassau public library system. There are a few cool events that take place here like movies and discussions. This library is a great place to study. Some of the desks creak but it’s from the constant use. Lots of people come here to study or work on something. The children section is awesome. I use to spend hours there when I was growing up. The career info on the website is very informative. Definitely love this place. You can also request a quiet study room ahead of time. There is a gallery in the basement with changing art. The building is lovely.

I love this place. The amount of books, CDs, DVDs, is fantastic and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I’m here all the time to rent films for the most part and though it isn’t the best selection available, (Port Jeff and Huntington have fantastic collections, which I tend to find myself tend to request films from) but you really can’t go wrong here. Especially with all the Blockbusters slowly going out of business, it’s nice to have a cool and free alternative.

one of my favorite places. the library is beautiful and there are so many books to choose from. also, not only can you take out books there are also movies, tv series on dvd, cd’s and books on tape for you to take out if you choose.
