There are some changes in two of our digital resources. Starting February 1st, patrons will only be able to check out 3 titles on Hoopla per month. The streaming service Kanopy will have reduced monthly tickets as well. Instead of 30 tickets per month, patrons will now have 5 tickets per month.

We are now the proud possessors of all the major New York State tax forms and instructions. They are neatly stacked and displayed next to the front door.  We also have the Federal 1040 instructions only.  We may get the 1040 and 1040-S forms at some point in the future.  This is all we will get from the IRS. No schedules, nothing else. We can help you get them however.
So what should you do about the Federal forms, instructions, schedules, etc.?Read More

Our adult volunteer program is an excellent way for people to stay connected to the library while also helping us manage small tasks such as keeping the shelves in order, weeding books and helping with programs.

At the moment, we are not looking to take on any new adult volunteers. Our high volume of applicants (thank you for applying!) and our volume of volunteer work do not match up. This does not mean that you cannot apply for volunteer work at the library- you are more than welcome to submit an application online and we will keep it on file for the future.

Please check out our adult volunteer page and feel free to contact our librarian, Alex Neceda, with any additional questions.

Each month, we will have programs based on a particular decade over the past 100 years. At the end of this year, we will have a huge celebration in November! This month, we will have programs based on the 1920s.  Check out our book groups, movies and history programs.

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.
