Middle Country Public Library Centereach Building

While waiting for my child’s class to finish, I discovered this library — and fell in love the moment I walked in. The high-ceilinged entrance with skylights is artistic and bright, and the wooden slat ceiling in the main hall radiates a warm, peaceful vibe. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the sculpture fountain outside, with a book in hand — it’s a treat for both the eyes and the soul. Oh, and the café inside the library gives you all the energy you need to stay here all day. The two ladies running the café are all smiles and full of humor. They joked, “If the coffee’s no good, don’t tell us,” but honestly — their coffee is top quality and great value.

This is a great library to bring your kids to play, socialize, learn basic skills. I don’t belong to this town, we drive here from South Shore. Love their fact i can buy a cup of coffee while my toddler plays trains or at the set up you guys do next to the entrance to the outdoor area. The last one was the camping site. Pretty cool. Yes, most of the toys are old but kids honestly don’t care.

This library is one of the best places to go and have fun with your kids. It has a beautifully renovated adult and teen section as well. They have a museum corner which changes every so often and includes Hands-On educational fun things for children. There is also a big spacious play area with lots to do. And the best is definitely the outside area where the water table a musical stage, mud kitchen, chalk zone and obstacle course.

Great library, helpful and friendly staff. Has a wonderful children's area and has great programs.

This is the nicest and cleanest liberty. Ipen and spacious. Everyone is very nice and helpful. I used to come with the kids here all the when they were younger. Now my kids love to cone here by themselves to study, to hang out and read
