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. We cannot decide which one to go with so we want YOU to vote for your favorite. You can vote online or in person at the library before November 30th to be a part of Larchmont Library’s history.

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.

Thank you all for your patience during these last few weeks when our main elevator was being replaced. It is now fully operational. We had a complete retrofit. It even talks to you now. We really appreciate our wonderful patrons for being so kind and understanding during the closure.

We will NOT be accepting any donations of children’s books until the new year.

Hoopla is working to update the Samsung TV Hoopla app to include BingePass and SeasonPass! In the short term, that means the app is temporarily unavailable for download. Users who currently have the Hoopla app installed on their Samsung TV will be able to use the app until Monday, August 18, at which time the app will no longer be accessible. We’ll pass along information from Hoopla when they reach out with further information once the new app is available for download and reinstallation.
