Hempstead County Library

Such a great place! This location as just been built and so nice! The staff is so amazing and friendly! I’m the summer the Library host weekly shows/activities for children like Balloon Man, Magic Man, a theater play ect. My girls love going to all the summer activities and checking out books as often as possible all year long!

these people are so cruel and many other people agree with me. me and my two friends were eating oranges and apples and got our hands sticky and dirty so we all decided to go inside and wash our hands but when we got inside they told us that we needed parents like we don't know what we are doing they went and asked someone if we could wash our hands and as we were about to go in the bathroom they sat there '' monitoring '' us and told us to go in there one at a time.when we would get out of the bathroom they would ask us things like ''why didnt you wash your hands'' or ''why didn't you flush the toilet'' like we know what we are doing we don't need your help. we left and all three of the workers came outside calling the cops and whining about how we were to ''loud" "distracting others" and

The new library is amazing! The staff are super friendly and helpful. And if you have younger kids I would definitely bring them the kids section has a lot of newer books and classic ones!

I live in Europe and was looking for an article that appeared in a 2008 April Hope Star issue. They found it for me in no time, and sent the digital copy in an email immediately. Absolutely fantastic service. I'm truly humbled.

Trying to research Hempstead County. Staff told us they had no books about the county. Not one single book! They do have wifi so researching online worked. There were no electrical plugs at the large table only Cat 5 wiring or empty boxes. We found a table for two facing the back wall that had electrical outlets to plug in our computers. Then the staff were very loud (we could hear them despite wearing earbuds and listening to music) and it continued for the 4 hours we were there. The building looks brand new but it is a bad design. The ceiling is an open design with the industrial beams exposed so any noise echoes throughout the building. The staff were friendly but the overall experience was a sad disappointment for a library.
