Shredding Services Shredding Guidelines Deer Park Public Library is providing shredding services to its patrons free of charge. A shredding container is installed in the hallway next to the Fax and Copy machines.  Guidelines to patrons: Patrons should limit their shredding to 500 sheets of paper per week. Only personal sensitive documents (bank statements, tax materials, bills, etc.) are to be deposited. Folders, magazines, books, newspapers, junk mail, generic print materials and any other items may not be inserted in the container. In case the shredding container is temporarily full, documents for shredding may not be left in any other place in the library. This service is only for personal use by the patrons of Deer Park Public Library. Businesses may not use this service. Patrons can contact Adult Reference Department with any questions in regards to this service: (631) 586-3000.   Document Security Information Shredding receptacles and document destruction services are provided by the vendor Shred-it (www.shredit.com). Documents are stored in a locked container in the library and are regularly collected by Shred-it. Shred-it is certified by NAID AAA and meets or exceeds the requirements established by the National Association for Information Destruction. Sustainability Shred-it recycles and repurposes shredded materials whenever possible, following NAID AAA-certified processes.

Enable my reading history?

Would you like to keep track of the books you’ve checked out of the library and read?

The Deer Park Public Library offers a feature called “MY READING HISTORY” which allows you to do just that!

To access this ability:

  • Click on Your Library Account from the home page of the Deer Park Public Library website.
  • Enter your barcode and password. (If you do not already have a password, you will be prompted to create one. Please remember it.)
  • Once you are logged in to your account, click on the “Reading History” link.
  • Click on the “Opt In” button. Once the link is enabled, the next time something is checked out to you, it will appear when you log in to View Your Patron Record.

Please note:

  • You can delete individual items from your reading history (however if you do the history is lost and cannot be retrieved).
  • This is not a retrospective list – it starts compiling your reading history when enabled (ie. previously checked out books will not appear).
  • Only you have access to this feature. Library staff cannot see this record.
