Library Cards Expire Every Three Years

Library Cards Expire Every Three Years

Have you received this email recently?
Courtesy Notice – Library Account Expiration in 30 days.
Do not panic! Library cards expire every three years. We just ask that you come in with a photo ID that shows your current Larchmont address. That is all you have to do! We will update your account using that information and you will be all set for the next three years. You do not need to get a new card and your current card number will stay the same. Any staff member at the Reference or Circulation desk can update your library account.Read More Read More

Designs Form, Colors Burst, Shapes Arrive by Lydia Hassan

Designs Form, Colors Burst, Shapes Arrive by Lydia Hassan

February 3rd – 28th. Lydia Hassan is and always was drawing, painting, sewing, and making and creating things. Influenced by how things are made, observing nature’s snow on branches, clouds in the sky and waves on the beach, she was inspired to pursue her passion for visual and graphic design. Noticing store-window displays, amusement park rides, advertising signage and magazine topography influenced Lydia to include them in her artwork as she studied illustration and editorial design at Syracuse University. These concerns landed her in NYC working in advertising as an Art Director doing program covers, magazine spreads and newsletter layouts.Read More Read More

The Library’s Puzzle-Lending Program

The Library’s Puzzle-Lending Program

If you visit the library, you might have noticed we have an entire shelf of jigsaw puzzles. You might also have wondered… what’s that about? Well, besides grabbing a book or movie for the colder weekends at home, you can also grab a puzzle (or two) as well! We have a wide array of puzzles, varying in sizes (mostly 500 & 1000 piece) and subjects. You are more than welcome to check out a puzzle by bringing it to the Information Desk and giving the librarian your library card. There is no real time limit on how long you can keep the puzzle- just return it when you’re done!Read More Read More

Attention WLS app users!
The WLS app has stopped working.

Attention WLS app users!

The Westchester Library System will be launching a new app early this year. The WLS app you currently have installed on your devices no longer works for accessing your library account- this means you can no longer browse the catalog or place holds or check your account. It does still work for accessing your library card barcode.  If you want to place holds or view your account, you can use the online catalog. You can quickly do this from the old app if you click the arrow on the bottom right of the main page. Read More Read More
