I am a parent who is disappointed in the children's department of the main library. There should have been much more consideration and planning put into it.

I am very disappointed with the "new & improved" library. The energy is depressing and it's so upsetting.

Residents have waited two years during renovations, and this is what we get?? A library that came out worse and $18 million down the drain??!!The main station Great Neck library has some urgent and major improvements to make!!

I completely agree with what has been written in this article. They/We paid so much for this new library and the result might be more beautiful but not at all more practical.

I am signing because I agree some of the issues mentioned in the letter. I don't have very young kids, so don't have those concerns for toddlers. Have visited main library once after it reopened. Very disappointed with new children's department. It is smaller than the old one. I like the old one a lot. A lot of books on shelves. The new one has much less shelves and books. Very disappointed. I would rather go station library.

My children love the library. Now they love the iPads. I miss the kitchen set with food that's now at the station branch. I miss the cozy area for my kids to explore. My kids miss the vending machines, which was a special part of their library visit. We have been thrilled by the additional programming at the Lakeville branch, it's a shame there's not much at the main branch that meets my family's schedule.

I m paying so much tax and i want Library that fit for all ages group.
Whoever designed thr library was lack of understanding the young children's needs .

The children's section was my favorite part of the library as a kid and to be with my niece. I want my daughter to have the same experience, but now it is cold and not child friendly.

I am not happy with how we spend money with out considering our kids, spending money where they don't need to instead of really improving great neck they are just wasting money

I have children that cannot utilize the space in a safe manner.

A petition is a time-honored mechanism of democracy, so I am a fan of the method. It should be pointed out that a signature hidden is no signature at all. I was shocked at how many residents do not understand this.

Library lost its warm, welcoming and charming character. it is now cold and office like. Certainly not a space in which I want to spend more time than necessary. Shame...
