Children's Room closes at 7:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays
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

7:31am. We believe the Library has power. Although much of our staff cannot come to work today, we are going to make every effort to open as we know many in our community are powerless. Westchester Library System has informed us that our Internet and Wifi are down so the only services we can provide are books and power. We’ll update this as soon as staff can get to the building.Read More Read More

We have great news for book groups! Since the library is now open for browsing from 9-5, Monday through Saturday, we can start reserving books for book groups again. Prior to the pandemic, the library supplied books for 30+ local groups and we’re happy to report that new requests are already coming in. Kudos to the Men’s Night Out book club for being the first ones to reserve their books in 2021! If you want to start a group of your own or get your old one back up and running, please check out our Book Groups FAQ and then contact the Reference Desk by phone at (914) 834-2281 x.3 or by email at larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.org.Read More Read More

No more return bins.Read More Read More
