“Actual books are a total pain in the neck,” said Head of Reference Liam Hegarty. “You’ve got to catalog them, label them, put them on a shelf (in a specific place no less) and then you’ve got to keep track of them when someone borrows them.” Hegarty stressed that the Library was only discontinuing tangible books not the highly popular eBooks. He also said the collection would not disappear all at once. “The books will be deaccessioned over a period of time and in a thoughtful manner,” he said. “First we’ll eliminate trivial stuff like literary criticism and poetry.Read More Read More

Infection rates are rising rapidly, so we are pausing in-person programming for January. The majority of the libraries in the County are doing the same. Most of our Adult programs are hybrid (both in-person and on Zoom), so we will be able to continue almost the same level of programming despite this interruption. Children and Teens should check back early next year for remote, outdoor and take home program options. We will evaluate February’s programs at the end of the month.Read More Read More

We have shifted around some books to make room for some more magazines. Some of your old favorites are back from before the pandemic such as Paris Match, Vogue, Better Homes and Gardens and more.  We are adding some back since the pandemic forced us to cancel a lot of our subscriptions.  Come see them in the Laager Reading Room a.k.a. the magazine room in the front of the Library.  We had to shift around a lot of New Fiction in order to fit these magazines.  The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library make our magazine subscriptions possible, please consider giving them a donation in this giving time of year.Read More Read More

This was originally going to be a post about the Oresman Gallery’s first exhibit since March 2020. The exhibitor, Roxanne Catherine Mapp, spent all day September 1 carefully hanging her paintings and they looked great. We all know what happened that night. Now our Lower Level is closed to the public and will be for some time. Roxanne’s work is currently displayed using easels and the mantel on the Main Floor. They still look great. The storm has forced some other changes here.

Monday, Sept. 6, 9:44 am. Our electrician turned the power back on in the building this morning. All our systems seem to be working properly. This means we will reopen as usual tomorrow morning. Well, almost. The Lower Level will remain closed until necessary repairs are made. The elevator in the main Library needs to be inspected, cleaned and perhaps repaired as well.Read More Read More
