We are committed to providing a safe environment for all PWPL staff and patrons. In order to do that, the following safety measures are in place:

Don’t know what to read or watch next? Ask the experts! Fill out a recommendation form and our librarians will select some titles just for you that can be picked up via our Curbside Grab-and-Go service.

• For children’s book recommendations, click here.


• For adult and/or young adult book recommendations, click here.


• For movie recommendations, click here.

As we confront the unacceptable racial injustices across our country, notably the recent horrifying killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, we will continue in our mission as a public library to enhance the well-being of every member of our community.

PWPL is now accepting returned materials! Patrons can drop off any library items they have had at home these last few months (including materials on loan from other Nassau County libraries) at PWPL starting June 15. In accordance with CDC and ALA guidelines, materials will be quarantined for 96 hours after being returned to the library. This is the first step in implementing additional physical services such as curbside pickup, slated to launch soon!

While the PWPL Staff may not be able to see you in person we miss you all!  We hope you enjoy two videos we've made while social distancing:  We Miss You Video, & Why We Wear a Mask Video.
