Weather Affects Curbside

Weather Affects Curbside

The dire predictions for the middle of this week have forced the following changes:

  • Wednesday’s Curbside has been moved from the afternoon to two hours in the morning, 10am to noon.
  • Thursday’s Curbside is cancelled.
  • The date to pick up items already here is extended through Saturday.
  • Patrons who have already made appointments will be contacted with their options.

This seems like a propitious time to explain how we will try to handle Curbside when the weather gets bad. There are twoRead More Read More

Library Closed Until Nov. 30

The Library is closed as staff members have tested positive for the coronavirus. We expect to return with limited services on Monday 11/30 after deep cleaning of the building and staff testing is completed. Curbside will resume. However, we are pausing onsite browsing until further notice to address the rising viral infection rates as well as the higher potential for infection during the upcoming indoor/holiday season.

  • No return bins will be put out until Monday 11/30. Please hold on to your materials, we will extend due dates and are all materials are currently fine free.

Winter is Coming

Winter is Coming

We think our current system works well, even in warm summer rains, but sleet and snow are another matter. Help us plan how we will handle Curbside Pickup when the weather gets bad by completing a four question survey.Read More Read More

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

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
