Limited Browsing is now available Monday through Saturday 1-4:30 pm. This means masked, socially distanced patrons can wander through our stacks to look for something to read, to watch or to listen. You can also check out holds. Browsing for the Adult/Teen rooms does not require an appointment. Patrons may walk-in Monday-Saturday 1pm-4:30pm. Appointments are still suggested for the Children’s Room. Although appointments are not mandatory, they will guarantee admittance at your chosen time. If you haven’t used Browsing before, we suggest you look at the FAQ. Public computers, seating and study spaces are not available at this time.Read More Read More

Right about now people start making their annual pilgrimage to the Library in search of tax forms. Tax forms will be discussed later in this post, but first a word about printing in general. We understand that many people rely on Library computers to print out things they need for their life such as DMV forms and the like. The fact that our building is closed does not mean we can’t still help you. We will print what you need and you can get it using Curbside Pickup. Here’s what you do: Read More Read More

Now you will have an extra week to pick up your poor, sad, forgotten items. Just make an appointment for a date within that week and we’ll put them out again. This is not an automatic process. You must make a new appointment.

Please continue to make every effort to meet your original curbside appointments. Preparing curbside pickup is a complicated, labor-intensive task and keeping track of second-chance pickups does not make it easier. However, we understand that life sometimes gets in the way so we are happy to provide this additional service.Read More Read More

The roof construction has moved far enough along so that we can resume onsite services on Tuesday, October 13. We will have regular Curbside Pickup and Browsing by Appointment (including the Children’s Room) hours. There will bins outside for returns from 9am to 4:30pm. We aren’t charging for any overdues, so you don’t have to rush to get things back on Tuesday. Holds sent to us from other libraries will be delayed, as they still have to be quarantined upon arrival here. Librarians will be answering phones at the usual times and hours (914) 834-2281 x.3 for Adult and x4 for the Children’s Room) Finally, if you had something already on the Holds Shelf before we closed for construction, please pick it up by the Wednesday, October 14th. Read More Read More

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.

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

We will start getting deliveries from other libraries in the County next week. We expect this will unleash a deluge of long delayed holds (both incoming and outgoing) and returns. Other libraries who have already begun deliveries found this to be the case. We believe we have a good system in place to handle this, but you, our patrons, can help lighten the initial load. Please go through your account to make sure there aren’t any open holds which you no longer want. If there is something you don’t want right away, please suspend the hold.Read More Read More

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.

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
