The Library now offers the screen reading software JAWS due to a generous donation from the West Babylon Lions Club. The JAWS software assists those with vision loss by reading aloud from web pages and Microsoft Office programs. To request use of the JAWS software, please inquire at the Reference Desk.

Do you know what to do when your child is lost? The Library has implemented the Code Adam program, a powerful search tool for locating lost and possibly abducted children. This program is simple; if a parent/guardian cannot locate their child while in the Library, they can report to any staff member and a special Code Adam alert will be issued to the rest of the building. Library staff will immediately begin searching for the child and, if the child is not found within ten minutes, the police will be notified. The Library is dedicated to providing a welcoming and safe environment for all our patrons.
