We’re changing our look (and functionality)

On December 15th, the look of our webpage will change. You can preview our new site right now at larchmontlibrary.org. The primary purpose of the redesign is to make our webpage work better on phones and other mobile devices. We encourage you to poke around and get a feel for the new page. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress. As for now, we ask that you please continue to use our current site to make room reservations, sign up for programs, etc. It would be great to hear your feedback and note any problems you might encounter- please email our Head of Reference, Liam Hegarty, at whegarty@larchmontlibrary.orgRead More Read More

2022 Banned Books Week

2022 Banned Books Week

What makes a book so powerful that people want to prevent it from being read? This is the ever-burning question many people ask about banned books. There is so much tension in the literary world around censorship and banning books that there’s an entire week in September dedicated to openly discussing these books which make some people ‘uncomfortable.’ You will also have a chance to answer the ever-burning question in our Banned Books Week Contest (click on Read More for details).Read More Read More

Museum Passes Are Back!

Museum Passes Are Back!

Our Museum Pass program, which is made possible by our Friends of the Larchmont Library, is one of the most popular programs we offer here in Larchmont. As many of you recall, Covid put quite a damper on all things ‘fun’ at the library including the suspension of our Museum Pass Program. The good news is that the library managed to get back on track… and the best news? The Museum Pass Program is now up and running! Our free passes are available for Larchmont Library cardholdersRead More Read More

Library Enters Full Service Era

Library Enters Full Service Era

Inspired by our popular distribution of free Covid 19 tests, the Library is taking the next step – free blood tests! “Like all new services, the introduction of this one did have some teething pains,” Library Director Laura Eckley said. A shortage of patron volunteers for training was alleviated by a 15% discount on existing fine balances. “Those volunteers worked so hard. You could see it in their pale, exhausted faces at the end of the day. We couldn’t have done it without them,” Eckley said.

Staff confidence is improving by leaps and bounds.Read More Read More
