As local vaccination rates are high and infection rates are low, we are restoring some of our in-person programming for adults. When possible, our in-person programs will also be presented remotely, via Zoom, so patrons and/or presenters who do not wish for personal contact can continue to participate. Not every program will be presented in this “hybrid” and some programs will remain entirely on Zoom due to logistical issues, timing, and meeting room availability. Please check listings carefully.

Every September, libraries across the nation celebrate our freedom to read by highlighting books that some people think you shouldn’t be allowed to read in your school or library. The list of the challenged books might surprise you. For example, among 2020’s ten most challenged books are works by two winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature. This year we are celebrating both our community and the freedom to read by highlighting local people reading challenged books. On Friday, the beginning of the weekend, we put up the last post, a visit to Larchmont Tavern.Read More Read More

The exhibitor, Roxanne Catherine Mapp, spent all day September 1 carefully hanging her paintings and they looked great. We all know what happened that night. Now our Lower Level is closed to the public and will be for some time. Roxanne’s work is currently displayed using easels and the mantel on the Main Floor. They still look great. The storm has forced some other changes here.
During the current situation we’ve not been assessing fines because, well, we all have enough to deal with. No more! Starting Monday, September 13, we are going to start imposing fines for overdue items again. If you have something that is overdue, it would be wise to return it before then. Read More Read More
