I wish the library would reinstate some of the children s programs that they cut a couple of years ago. I also think the late fines are too high for children's books and DVDs. We belong to another library (Mattituck- Laurel) that has automatic renewal and Northport Public Library has it too. Wondering why we don t have that in GC? The children s room librarians are wonderful though.
Nice quiet library with a great selection. Good programs throughout the year for students.
I am completely appalled by the treatment that I received here from a staff member. A blond woman at the front desk gave me and my mother an extremely demeaning and self righteous attitude when we asked how to acquire a library card.
I love this library. The staff is incredibly helpful and it s a peaceful place to study.
This quiet oasis is a real gem of a library. There are three levels with a little cyber cafe space downstairs level adjacent to the computer lab. There is also a large children's area as well as for an area for young teens. Study carralls were available and I found the staff to be friendly and approachable. There is also a book sale area as they receive many book donations.
It is a very comfortable and safe place, very good to hang out, excellent
If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I traveled from Freeport to garden city because the online portal listed that this library offered video game rentals to non-patrons. As soon as I approached the front desk to check the video game out, the librarian made the following remark: video game rentals are only offered to residents of garden city .. I was quite bothered by the fact that she assumed I wasn t a resident without me ever implying I wasn t from the town. The interaction just felt very uncomfortable and I hope that there is some sort of repercussion for this librarians behavior.
