The Syosset Library, like most libraries on Long Island, offers a wonderful variety of programming. As Syosset residents we have taken advantage of many of the lectures and performances, which are usually available to all.This particular Sunday brought us to a delightful performance of “Scarboro Faire,” featuring the Guthrie Brothers, an entertaining 1 1/2 hours of Simon & Garfunkel songs, with some nice banter as well.
The library parking lot has four handicapped spaces in the front of the building and four near the rear entrance. If you are going to the auditorium, try to park near the rear entrance for less walking. If the event is not during library hours, entry is only through the rear doors.

If you are early and the library is open, you can get a drink and snack from one of the vending machines in the “cafe” area on the main floor. A nice touch ! The front entrance is also street level with automatic, sliding glass doors.
