Just what you’ve been waiting for – it’s Banned Books Week! We’ve pulled a fine selection of them for display, so you don’t have to slink into the stacks to find them. Revisit old favorites, and maybe find some new “Banned in Boston” titles. In case you can’t make it into the library, click on “Read More” below to see the books. All of them are available for download via Overdrive/Libby. Remember, the only person who should decide what you read is you.Read More Read More
We have good news! Our ever-popular Museum Pass Program is springing back into action after a long hiatus. We know that our patrons have sincerely missed this invaluable resource which is so generously funded each year by the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library. As many museums in our area have started to reopen, and we know you’re eager to get out of the house, please keep in mind that things are running a bit ‘differently’ at the moment.

We know that the past few months have been trying and it seems almost impossible to keep up with everything going on. If you have not had time to fill out the 2020 Census yet, don’t fret- the deadline for online, phone and mail-in responses has been extended until September 30th. Please remember that the census only comes around every 10 years and the data collected helps businesses, researchers and communities make crucial planning decisions. In other words, it’s kind of a ‘big deal’ and we want to make sure you’re counted!Read More Read More
Although we have no earth shattering news to report at the moment, there are a few things you should be aware of- a lot has changed (for the time being) concerning holds, browsing, returns and curbside pickup. Let’s all try to get on the same page!
Holds (from near and far) – Deliveries between all of the libraries in Westchester County (except for White Plains) have begun! This means thatRead More Read More
Have you missed reading the latest print issue of Architectural Digest or the New Yorker etc.? Our magazine room is closed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy our great magazine collection. Call 914-834-2281 x3 M-F 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm or email us at larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.org. We can put an issue aside for you to check out during browsing hours or by using curbside pickup.
Can’t make it? You still can enjoy thousands of magazines from home on RBdigital Magazines (for Larchmont card holders only) or Pressreader.Read More Read More
Starting July 7, patrons can make an appointment to browse the Adult and Teen sections of the Library. Half hour appointments are available weekday afternoons beginning at 1pm and ending at 3pm. Please read how it works on the Browsing Appointments FAQ. Then go to Things to Do menu above to make your appointment. Some important things to know are:
All Library materials checked out prior to June 1 were renewed through June 30th. As such, we have 5,000 items that are due TODAY, July 1st! It is fitting, therefore, to explain how we are handling returns going forward.
Starting next Monday, June 29, we will stop answering calls at (914) 734-5362. Instead of that number’s limited hours, we will have 9-5 coverage (9-1 on Saturdays) at the old Reference number, 834-2281 x. 3 and the Children’s Room will be answering extension 4. We added these services because we are allowed more staff in the building. We expect to add more services in the very near future. Stay tuned.Read More Read More
We’ve added some services. We’ve added Saturday morning curbside pickups to our roster of available times. Now we have a librarian in the building answering 834-2281 x. 3. from 9 – 5 weekdays and 9-1 Saturdays. That means we can help with curbside and we can set aside items for non-Larchmont cardholders for curbside pickup if the items are on the shelf. Librarians will continue to answer (914) 734-5362 from their homes(amended June 29). More details are available on the aptly named more details page, but here are some major points:
We have begun filling holds again! You must make an appointment to pick your items up. For now, this is the only way you can get Larchmont Library items. To learn more, and to make an appointment, please click here. Also, email and text notifications will have a link to the appointments page. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to please read last week’s post, Get Ready for Curbside Pickup!, because now it’s really happening! Finally, Read More Read More
