Want to come in and browse our collection? Make an appointment. Children’s sessions are 10 – 12 Tuesday through Friday and 9-11 on Saturdays. Adult and Teen sessions are 1-3 Tuesday through Friday and 11-1 on Saturdays. Please read our Browsing Appointments FAQ first.

Curbside pickup is running smoothly (although Tropical Storm Fay forced us to improvise a little). If you haven’t used it yet, see the Curbside FAQ for details.

We are accepting returns 9am to 4:30pm on weekdays and from 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. Place library items only into one of the marked bins in front of the Library.Read More Read More

It goes without saying that mental health is very important. Since 1949, the month of May has been deemed Mental Health Awareness Month. While 1 in 5 people will experience mental illness in their lifetime, now more than ever, everyone is facing challenges in their lives that can negatively impact mental health. We here at the library are fully aware of the effects which COVID-19 has had on daily mental health. Social distancing can be draining and not being able to see family or friends can be upsetting. We encourage you to stay strong, stay well and utilize some online resources we’ve compiled below to get you through these discouraging times.Read More Read More

The Larchmont Library has a lot going on– virtually, of course. For example, there are book club meetings (via Zoom), children’s storytimes (on Facebook) and programs such as Great Courses and Yoga. Yet, we know there are still so many things happening online from other places like the 92nd Street Y and Met Museum. What you will find below is a list of websites and links to some of these virtual activities and events. Take a look (and a click) to discover some of the best fun you can have right from your living room!Read More Read More
