This Bohemia passport facility, the Connetquot Public Library, stands as a cornerstone for community resources, extending its services far beyond traditional literary offerings to include essential passport application processing. Located prominently at 760 Ocean Avenue, it is strategically situated in the heart of Bohemia, an area that has grown significantly from its mid-20th-century origins as a largely agricultural and aviation-focused community into a bustling, family-oriented suburb of Long Island. The library primarily serves residents of Bohemia, particularly those living in the established neighborhoods off Lakeland Avenue and Lincoln Avenue, where families frequently seek passport services for international travel. Its convenient location also draws individuals from adjacent communities, including portions of Sayville to the south, Oakdale to the west, and Holbrook to the north, who find its accessibility preferable to other, more distant government offices or post offices.
Since commencing passport acceptance services in 2006, the Connetquot Public Library has become an indispensable local asset, processing an average of 75 applications weekly. This dedicated service saves residents considerable time and effort, alleviating the need to travel to more distant facilities such as the Bohemia Post Office on Orville Drive or the Bay Shore Post Office, nearly eight miles away. The library caters to a diverse demographic: young families applying for their children’s first passports before a trip to Disney World or a cruise from Port Canaveral; high school students from Connetquot High School, situated directly across Ocean Avenue, preparing for international exchange programs; and professionals who utilize the library’s extended evening and Saturday hours to manage their travel documentation without disrupting their workweek. Senior citizens also appreciate the helpful, unhurried atmosphere compared to busier government centers.
Architecturally, the library presents a welcoming, modern facade of brick and large, energy-efficient windows, a design that underwent a significant renovation in 2017 to enhance natural light and improve public spaces. This renovation ensured the facility remained contemporary and comfortable for all patrons. The surrounding area, while primarily residential with mature trees lining streets like Spruce Avenue and Hemlock Street, maintains a quiet, community-focused ambiance. Within a short walk, applicants can find convenient amenities. Just a two-block stroll north, at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and Church Street, sits the iconic ‘Bohemia Bagel & Deli,’ a local institution since 1998, perfect for a coffee or a quick bite before or after an appointment. The proximity to Connetquot High School means the area is familiar to many local families, reinforcing the library’s role as a trusted community institution. The library’s commitment to civic responsibility and community engagement, evident in its robust schedule of educational programs, public workshops, and local history initiatives, translates directly into the professional and attentive service provided at its passport acceptance desk. The staff’s deep familiarity with the intricacies of passport requirements offers a personalized experience, often guiding applicants through complex scenarios like name changes after marriage or managing lost or stolen passport situations. This level of personalized assistance is a hallmark of the Connetquot Public Library’s approach to public service, setting it apart from many other passport acceptance facilities. The library’s central location on Ocean Avenue, a key artery through Bohemia that connects to major routes like Lakeland Avenue and Sunrise Highway, ensures ease of access for vehicular traffic. Its establishment in 1986 reflected the burgeoning growth of Bohemia in the latter half of the 20th century, as it transformed from a smaller hamlet into a substantial suburban town. This growth brought with it a greater need for public services, a need the library has consistently met, and continues to meet, with dedication and foresight. The ongoing evolution of the library, continually adapting to the community’s changing needs, underscores its enduring importance. The passport service is a direct response to modern travel demands, seamlessly integrated into a facility cherished for its warmth and comprehensive offerings.

Located at CONNETQUOT PUBLIC LIBRARY at 760 OCEAN AVENUE. Easy access from major highways.
Convenient and ample parking is a key advantage for visitors to the Connetquot Public Library. The facility boasts a large, free 47-space surface parking lot directly accessible from Ocean Avenue. This main lot wraps around the east and south sides of the building, providing direct, level access to the library’s main entrance. During peak library hours, especially Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and Saturday afternoons from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, this primary lot can approach full capacity. However, even during these times, spaces typically become available within a few minutes due to the high turnover of library patrons. For those who prefer street parking or find the main lot full, limited parallel parking is often available on Spruce Avenue, the residential street immediately bordering the library to the west. This street parking is unmetered and typically offers availability within a 2-block radius, adding a brief 2-3 minute walk to the library entrance. During winter months, applicants should exercise caution in the parking lot and on sidewalks, as ice and snow can accumulate, especially after morning plowing. Similarly, summer appointments might warrant seeking shaded spots on the south side of the lot. For the easiest experience, aim to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your passport appointment to secure a good spot in the main lot.
While Bohemia is largely car-centric, visitors utilizing public transit can reach the Connetquot Public Library with some planning, primarily via Suffolk County Transit services. The closest major bus route is the S57, which runs along Lakeland Avenue, approximately 1.1 miles north of the library. To reach the library from the S57, disembark at the Lakeland Avenue and Sycamore Avenue stop. From there, you would walk south on Sycamore Avenue for about 0.8 miles until it intersects with Ocean Avenue, then turn left and walk another 0.3 miles east to reach 760 Ocean Avenue. This walk takes approximately 20-25 minutes. The S57 operates every 30-45 minutes on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with reduced service on Saturdays. A single ride costs $2.50, payable in exact cash or via the Suffolk County Transit SCTRIDE mobile app. For those arriving by Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), the Sayville Station, serving the Montauk Branch, is the most accessible, located about 3.2 miles south. From the Sayville station, connecting with a local taxi or a ride-share service like Uber or Lyft is recommended for the roughly 7-10 minute drive to the library. Unfortunately, a direct, highly frequent bus connection from the LIRR Sayville station to the library is not available. The Suffolk County Transit system is generally wheelchair accessible, with all buses equipped with ramps and securement areas for mobility devices, ensuring an inclusive transit option for patrons with disabilities, though the walk from the S57 stop may present challenges.
