We are ramping up the restoration of limited onsite services. You can help us prioritize our future efforts (and also give us feedback on how we did in the past) by filling out our survey. There are no required questions, so it shouldn’t take too long. However, if you haven’t yet filled out the mandatory and most important survey, the 2020 Census, do that first. You can always come back and do ours later. It can always be found in the Things To Do menu at the top of each adult page.Read More Read More

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

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.

Our Children’s librarians have been working hard to restore your programs from their homes. Maintenance staff took time from cleaning the Library to collect and to mail books to Linnea’s home. Once she got them, she started two weekly story times which are streamed live on the Library’s Facebook page. Tuesdays at 10am is Toddler Story Time. The first Family Bedtime Story is this Thursday at 7pm.  Please note that copyright restrictions require us to remove Linnea’s book reading shortly after they are done. Activity of the Week with Rebecca and Gordon will have no such restrictions, however.Read More Read More
