The Westchester Library System has a new online resource for all patrons. This guide from the Westchester Library System (WLS) includes a select list of resources and recommended strategies that can help you when researching a health topic, evaluating and managing service options, and finding assistance. The original guide was funded by the National Library of Medicine in 2017 and WLS Outreach has made updates since. WLShealth.org content is hosted on Westchester Library System site – conversations.westchesterlibraries.org.

Have you heard? The Larchmont Public Library is turning 100 next year! To celebrate, we have created two beautiful new logos to commemorate this special anniversary.

It’s November already and we have some great upcoming programs to highlight. Yoga and Chair Yoga have returned on Fridays in the Village Center. November 18th there is a program called Herald in the Holidays with Less Stress. We will also have Chris McCormack returning for a program about Exploring Our Colorful World on the 20th. Don’t forget about our Notary Services that are starting this month too! They will be offered on the first and third Tuesday of the month. Check out our calendar for more information on these programs and services.

Due to COVID closures in 2020 the Westchester Library System (WLS) increased the checkout limits on Hoopla and Kanopy. WLS kept those higher checkout levels as long as possible, but the rising costs of allowing these extra checkouts have become too expensive.

Starting November 1, 2025 monthly borrows will return to pre-pandemic levels of 5 borrows for Hoopla and 30 Tickets for Kanopy.

We thank you for your understanding and for your ongoing support.
