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.
