Adult Summer Reading Starts NOW!
Get ready for the Adult Summer Reading Game! It kicks off on June 24th.
Like last year, the game is Bingo but bigger!
Each category will be a decade starting from the 1920s all the way to the present. Since there are 11 decades, we needed to add some more categories to complete the 16 squares for Bingo. Along with the specific decades, the other categories will include Nonfiction, Biography, Mystery, Science Fiction, and Fantasy.
Keep track of your progress by using our bingo boards which are available at the Information Desk.Read More Read More

Hoopla Borrowing Issue
We are aware that patrons have been experiencing issues with Hoopla since the number of check outs was reduced earlier this month. The change that the Westchester Library System implemented includes a daily checkout limit of 333 for the entire county. The daily limit resets at midnight and because of the small number, the check outs reach the max very quickly. We understand your frustration when trying to borrow a title. The Westchester Library System is aware of the issue, and we are looking into other options to make Hoopla more accessible.Read More Read More

There are some changes in two of our digital resources. Starting February 1st, patrons will only be able to check out 3 titles on Hoopla per month. The streaming service Kanopy will have reduced monthly tickets as well. Instead of 30 tickets per month, patrons will now have 5 tickets per month.Read More Read More
