I had the pleasure of visiting the West Hempstead Public Library to vote early, and it was a delightful experience. The process was quick and easy, just as voting should be. There was no line and no need to wait, which made the entire experience efficient. The individuals assisting with the voting were not only welcoming but also incredibly helpful. It's reassuring to see such efficiency and friendliness in the voting process.
Very kind staff. Great selection. Tons of events. Great for all ages. I highly recommend getting a library card for here. They have tons of events, it is very organized and they have a large selection.
I love coming here. Inside joke you’ll hear the name Tom announce over intercom so many times. Great environment I even love when they put people in check to stay quiet on the second floor. People will say no one is up here and they still say it doesn’t matter quiet floor. NO TALKING!
Even though I am no longer a physical resident of Lakeview, the Lakeview Library left me with nothing but love for that establishment. So many activities to sign up for, great assistance from staff and a Beautiful place to just be inside of.
I visit West Hempstead very often. I live in Palm Beach County FL. My library there is the complete opposite of this library.
From the pictures I've posted you can see the attitude that is pervasive at the West Hempstead Library, WHL.
My library offers snacks for kids each Friday. They have coolers with ice cream and drinks. They ask each kid as they walk through the door if they have stopped in the children's section for their snack.
Local teens volunteer in the library and interact with the kid patrons to help them find books.
The WHL, has a culture of meanness. In fact we were told today not to talk. We weren't even speaking loudly.
Not very user friendly.

The customer service at this library is horrible. I have never felt so unwelcome at a library in my life. I really wish someone in management would address the disgruntled employees that work here, it truly creates an unhealthy environment. We come to the library to learn and not to be mistreated . If I continue to have this mistreatment at my own library that I pay high taxes to come to , I will certainly get my local officials involved to further investigate this matter . We will not tolerate this in a community that is diverse and for the most part is kind to others .
Awesome library, close to home, friendly librarians and a cozy atmosphere. There is a wide range of books from various topics and a nice DVD selection. You can spend hours here and lose track of time, nice comfy sofas and loveseat. Great for a quiet place to do research or use Wi-Fi.
Friendly staff.
I wish the library was more up to date technology wise in comparison to nyc system. I’ve seen the awesome changes thus far an I’m thrilled. Also if the website would post the events/programs offered monthly. (Although that would contribute to fast bookings)
