Important Reminder About Children’s Programs

Children’s programs are extremely popular. We recommend that registrants arrive early to check-in. Your reserved spot will be held for five minutes after the starting time of the class before being given to a patron on the waitlist. If you know you cannot attend a class, please cancel your registration on LibCal (https://gardencitypl.libcal.com/) or call the Library at 516-742-8405 x5241 so your spot can be released to someone on the waitlist.

Also, if the young child is attending a Library program, we require the parent or designated responsible person to remain in the Library throughout the program and meet the child upon completion of the program.
