General Contact Information

Telephone: (914) 834-2281 – We surrendered to progress and now have one of those phone systems where you have to choose options. Some popular choices are: extension 2 (Circulation); extension 3 (Reference) and extension 4 (Children’s Room).

Email: larchmontlibrary@wlsmail.org – Your email will be viewed by a reference librarian and answered, generally, within 24 hours.

Telecirc: (914) 674-4169 – allows you to renew items, check your account and so on over the phone. However, since you are already online, you might as well do that through the Catalog. It’s easier.
