We are raising the roof!

We are raising the roof!

And then putting down a brand new one over our Children’s Room. This means we will be closed starting Sunday, Oct. 4. We anticipate resuming our current schedule on Tuesday, October 13th. There are a lot of things to explain so let’s get started:

  • We’ve scheduled extra curbside pickup sessions on Friday and Saturday mornings so you can get your books before we close. There will be no curbside sessions during the closure.
  • Browsing sessions are unchanged leading up to the closure, but sessions are usually underbooked and walk-ins are welcome.

A note about voting forms

A note about voting forms

We’ve been putting absentee ballot applications and voter registration forms in front of the library over the past few weeks. We will not be able to do so during construction. The last day to register to vote for the Nov. 3 General Election is Oct. 9, 2020. If you mail in your registration, it must be postmarked by that day (and received by the Board of Elections by Oct. 14). You can register in person as well. If you miss getting one of the forms we put out, don’t worry.Read More Read More

Banned Books Week

Banned Books Week

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

Some of Our Museum Passes are Back!

Some of Our Museum Passes are Back!

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.

Census 2020 Information

Census 2020 Information

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

Today is July 1!

Today is July 1!

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.

  • Although many things are due July 1st, we will continue to check in all materials “fine free” until August 1, 2020.
  • All returns should continue to be placed in the marked return bins in front of the Library.

Service update – June 23, 2020

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
