Designs Form, Colors Burst, Shapes Arrive by Lydia Hassan
February 3rd – 28th. Lydia Hassan is and always was drawing, painting, sewing, and making and creating things. Influenced by how things are made, observing nature’s snow on branches, clouds in the sky and waves on the beach, she was inspired to pursue her passion for visual and graphic design. Noticing store-window displays, amusement park rides, advertising signage and magazine topography influenced Lydia to include them in her artwork as she studied illustration and editorial design at Syracuse University. These concerns landed her in NYC working in advertising as an Art Director doing program covers, magazine spreads and newsletter layouts. Later on, wall murals, theater backdrops, stage scenery and holiday displays became Lydia’s give-back to community and local schools.

The Library’s Puzzle-Lending Program
If you visit the library, you might have noticed we have an entire shelf of jigsaw puzzles. You might also have wondered… what’s that about? Well, besides grabbing a book or movie for the colder weekends at home, you can also grab a puzzle (or two) as well! We have a wide array of puzzles, varying in sizes (mostly 500 & 1000 piece) and subjects. You are more than welcome to check out a puzzle by bringing it to the Information Desk and giving the librarian your library card. There is no real time limit on how long you can keep the puzzle- just return it when you’re done!
The library also has a community puzzle which is displayed on the table in our New Books room on the main floor. Everyone is welcome to stop by the table and add a few pieces to the puzzle. It’s also a great place to meet other puzzle-lovers!
Reminder: the library is currently NOT accepting any puzzle donations. Please hold onto your puzzles until the Spring when we host our next Puzzle Swap!

Attention WLS app users!
The Westchester Library System will be launching a new app early this year. The WLS app you currently have installed on your devices no longer works for accessing your library account- this means you can no longer browse the catalog or place holds or check your account. It does still work for accessing your library card barcode. If you want to place holds or view your account, you can use the online catalog. You can quickly do this from the old app if you click the arrow on the bottom right of the main page. If you’re using a computer or smart phone, you can access the catalog by visiting our website at larchmontlibrary.org through a browser such as Safari, Chrome etc. After you get to our website click “Catalog & Your Account.” Then sign in with your card and pin#. If you need any help please call or email the information desk at 914-834-2281 ext#3 or larchmontlibrary@larchmontlibrary.org.Read More

Museum Pass System is Changing Temporarily
- As of right now you will not be able to book museum passes online for any dates in 2025. This change is temporary.
- Any museum passes you want to book will have to be booked over the phone or in person by speaking to a Reference librarian at the Information Desk. Our number is (914) 834-2281, ext. #3. Please call during business hours.
- To avoid double-booking, we will not accept any email requests or phone messages.
- The same parameters will be in place for how long a patron can have a pass. For example, if you plan to visit a museum on Wednesday, you can pick up the pass starting on Tuesday and it will be due back (in person) on Thursday.
- You can book passes for up to 30 days in advance.
- See the Museum Pass FAQ’s for more information.
As many of you know, the Larchmont Library has an incredible Museum Pass Program funded by our Friends of the Library. There are a total of 15 passes which we lend out for free to all of our Larchmont Library cardholders. There has been a system in place,Read More
