The Elevator Will Be Out of Service Starting on Monday, July 21st
The elevator company has projected a six-week long repair, at which time our main elevator will be completely out of service. If you’d like to access the upper and lower levels of the library, you will have to use the stairs. We will have large carts available in the New Books Room (on your left when you enter through the front door) with a selection of books from adult fiction and adult non-fiction. If you are unable to use the stairs, please alert a staff member and we will be more than happy to grab an item for you. Please note that the Children’s Room elevator will still be in service.
Thank you for your understanding.
The 2025 Adult Summer Reading Game Starts Now!
Now through August 29th.
This year, our Adult Summer Reading Game contains books in nine categories of colors. The categories include red, orange, yellow/gold, green, blue, purple, black, white and brown. For example, books that either have a red cover, red in the title or red in the name of the author will be included in the ‘red’ book list category. Reading a book from one of the color categories earns you one raffle ticket which you can grab in person (at the information desk) or online. Keep track of your progress by using our bingo boards which are available at the Information Desk or online. Earn a bonus raffle ticket each time your bingo board has three in a row.
The Frick Museum Pass Has Arrived
The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library have graciously allowed us to purchase a pass for the newly renovated (and re-opened) Frick Collection in Manhattan. As some of you might recall, the library had a pass for the Frick pre-Covid. The Frick underwent a huge renovation shortly thereafter so we have been without this pass for about four years!
Please book your pass online or give us a call at the Information Desk (914) 834-2281, ext. #3 and we can do it for you. The Frick pass comes with two membership cards, each good for one person to enter the museum for free. It is available for Larchmont Library cardholders only.
We Now Have Laptop Chargers!
After a lot of suggestions from patrons, we finally have four laptop chargers that can be used within the library. We have purchased two chargers for Chrome books and two Mac chargers. If you are looking to borrow a charger, please visit the Information Desk. We will ask that you give us your library card, ID, car keys, or anything else as collateral until you return the chargers when you are finished using them. The new chargers are in addition to the phone chargers we already have available for in-library use.
Museum Highlight: Storm King
It’s time to get outside! The library offers a free museum pass to the Storm King Art Center in Orange County, NY. Enjoy a scenic drive ‘upstate’ and take in the breathtaking views at Storm King, which is a 500 acre open-air museum. There are contemporary sculptures and gardens to explore. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and check the weather before you go!

Museum Highlight: Dia Beacon
As many museumgoers know, the Dia Art Museum in Beacon is a phenomenal place to visit for its beautiful grounds and inspiring artwork. But one thing you might not know, is that the Dia Museum has two other (smaller) locations in New York! Dia Chelsea and Dia Bridgehampton are also part of the Dia Museum family and you can use the library’s pass to visit them as well. With our pass, you can book a visit without having to make an reservation in advance- just show up! Our pass also allows for special discounts at Dia’s bookshops and cafes.
