Lynbrook Village Library at 56 Eldert Street, Lynbrook, New York.

Thank Goodness: A traditional library, where peace and quiet are still respected as necessities for work, study, and even simply reading for intellectual pleasure! An absolute minimum of homeless -- practically none, since this place is so rather far from city limits -- makes for the air quality one would expect of a "temple of knowledge" and "respite for the soul" that used to be every library worthy of the title...WiFi is always excellent, too. Spacious, with a large quiet room (though minimum decibel levels are enforced throughout the premises) and individual study rooms available, plus a lovely little garden outside with tables and chairs. The best Nassau Library branch in the south of the county! I should also say that the staff, especially the reference librarians, are truly pleasant people -- no wagging fingers or arched eyebrows here. :-D
