We know you’re all tired of looking at the same sad pile of long-read Library books and over-watched DVDs and are itching to return them. Well that time is now! Starting Thursday, May 28th there will be book bins outside the Library from 9am-12noon Monday through Friday. Please keep a few things in mind:

  • If you don’t see a bin, we are full up for the day. Please try again another time.

Although we are still a ways off from returning to anything like business as usual, we are planning for that wonderful day. Please go through your account and cancel holds on everything you don’t want anymore. This will ease the burden on the staff and, more importantly, the computer system when we do begin to resume nonvirtual services.

If you need help with this or anything else, Reference staff is ready to assist you. Email us any time at larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.org. If you want a real live person, call 914-734-5362 any weekday between 10am and 4pm.Read More Read More

It goes without saying that mental health is very important. Since 1949, the month of May has been deemed Mental Health Awareness Month. While 1 in 5 people will experience mental illness in their lifetime, now more than ever, everyone is facing challenges in their lives that can negatively impact mental health. We here at the library are fully aware of the effects which COVID-19 has had on daily mental health. Social distancing can be draining and not being able to see family or friends can be upsetting. We encourage you to stay strong, stay well and utilize some online resources we’ve compiled below to get you through these discouraging times.Read More Read More

Why Zoom?

We have been asked a fair bit recently about our choice of Zoom for our online book groups etc. It is not a perfect platform and there are some valid concerns about its security. This post will explain why we chose to use Zoom, why we continue to use it and what our patrons can do to keep themselves and our meetings secure.

We chose Zoom because it is simple to use. Many of our patrons are not comfortable with modern technology. We feltRead More Read More

The Larchmont Library has a lot going on– virtually, of course. For example, there are book club meetings (via Zoom), children’s storytimes (on Facebook) and programs such as Great Courses and Yoga. Yet, we know there are still so many things happening online from other places like the 92nd Street Y and Met Museum. What you will find below is a list of websites and links to some of these virtual activities and events. Take a look (and a click) to discover some of the best fun you can have right from your living room!Read More Read More

Help for Book Groups

The fact we are all in our separate homes does not mean we can’t get together to engage in one of life’s great pleasures, talking about books. It is something we have always supported, either through our own book clubs like New Futurians, Short & Sweet and Literary Bites, or through the 30+ private groups we supply books for. We’ve gone online, using downloadable eBooks and videoconferencing software such as Zoom, to continue to hold our Book Groups. You can too, and we’re here to help.

Reference staff regularly checks emails sent to larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.orgRead More Read More

We need to talk. The sweatpants are acceptable, but binge-watching “Fantasy Island”? You didn’t learn your lesson from the “Love Boat” binge? Under normal circumstances we’d tell you to go outside and play, but in the current situation we suggest RBdigital Entertainment.

Did you know you could look up a place and see how what percentage of its residents have been counted in the Census? The picture above shows that 56.3 percent of the Town of Mamaroneck’s residents (based on the 2010 Census) have responded. While that is better than New York States’s disturbingly low 43.3%, it is nowhere near Trout Valley, Illinois’s 84.7%. Since the results of the Census determine how government funds are distributed and how votes are distributed in our legislatures, it behooves us to do better than Trout Valley, Illinois.Read More Read More
