The Library Board of Trustees recently updated the Library’s Mission Statement. You might want to take a look. This update is part of the Board’s ongoing work to systematically review all of the policies and statements that underpin the Library’s operations. Some of these, for example the Internet Policy, were outdated and needed to be substantially rewritten. Others, not so much. It should be noted that in the midst of this process, New York passed a law mandating the work: a process the Board had already begun.Read More Read More

If you use the lists function in the catalog, you should back them up before April 24 (instructions available here)..Why? The Westchester Library System will soon be conducting a major overhaul of the public catalog and there is a possibility your lists won’t carry over. That said, there are a lot of things we think you will be happy about. For example, in the new interface you can search for books and ebooks at the same time without having to log into different services. Read More Read More
