FAQ-Kids

How old does my child have to be to stay at the library alone?

Your child must be at least 12 years old to stay at the library alone.

Can I leave the building while my child is attending a program?

No.  Children under the age of 12 must have a parent/guardian in the building at all times.

What activities are there for children in this area?

The library provides various activities for children based on age and grade. These can be found listed online or in your newsletter, which is mailed out to Syosset residents four times a year. For those interested in non-library related activities, feel free to browse our Community page, which provides links for various local places of interest.

How do I register for a program?

Most programs have registration dates which are listed in the newsletter and online calendar.  You can register online by clicking on Events and Classes on the main page of the library’s website.  The child’s library card and PIN (the last 4 digits of your phone number) are necessary to register online.  Payment is due within one week of registration date.  You can also register in person.

How strict are the age limits for programs?

Children's programs are designed to work best for the ages indicated.  If you have a specific question regarding this policy, please contact the Children’s Department at 516-921-7161 ext. 232.

Can my child bring another child to a program?

All children must register in advance for a program. However, if the program is full and the child meets the age requirements they will be permitted in after waiting 15 minutes if all registered children do not show up.  If the program is not full and they meet the age requirements they will be permitted in.  In both circumstances, if the program has a fee it must be paid upon admittance to the class.
