ASK FOR A QUICK TOUR OF THE NEW CHILDREN’S ROOM
Come see what's here. With more space in the new library, things are easier to find.
Children have more opportunities to try games and stories on our new computers.
Kids through grade 5 can sign up to do homework on our Internet computers.

We are glad you and your young children enjoy the library and come here often. Please remember that it is a public place and anyone may come in. For this reason, the West Hempstead Public Library Board of Trustees established the policy that no child under the age of ten may be unattended.
For their safety, please keep young children with you at all times.
