LIBRARY CLOSED MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25 12:00 to 5:00pm for STAFF TRAINING

In mid-March there will be a massive upgrade to the computer system that runs all the library transactions, i.e. circulation, acquisitions, cataloging, and more, at the 38 libraries which form the Westchester Library System. We are closing so every member of our Staff (full and part-time) can be trained at once. Don’t worry, once the new Integrated Library System (ILS) is launched we’ll be training the public so they (i.e you) can take full advantage of the new system.

A Larchmont Tradition is Right Around the Corner!

That’s right. The first day of spring is just a little over a month away and that means its time for the annual Larchmont Spelling Bee. Its time to start pulling your teams together so please mark your calendars for Sunday, April 7 at 4pm. The Bee will once again take place at Larchmont Temple (75 Larchmont Avenue – corner of Larchmont & Willow). Details about registering your teams and more will be available soon! The Larchmont Spelling Bee is made possible by the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library.

New Tables Enhance Our Fiction Area

Thanks to The Friends of the Larchmont Public Library, we now have tables in our Fiction Area on the upper floor. The tables make an already comfortable sitting area even more comfortable AND they make the space far more functional. You can now work, use your laptop, study, in addition to just relaxing. If you would like information on how you can become a member of the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library, visit them online.

2019 Tax Season has begun!

According to New York State, “Filing season for personal income tax opens January 28, 2019!” [exclamation point in original]. Judging by the number of people wearing green eyeshades and sleeve gaiters who began asking for the tax forms before Christmas, Larchmont is ready. At the Library we are almost as ready as we can be.
