Dear Yonkers Community:
We are pleased to announce that Yonkers Public Library’s (YPL) Riverfront Library and Will Library will temporarily reopen to limited in-branch services through the Christmas Eve holiday!
This is a great opportunity to stock up on books and DVDs to hunker down during the cold weather! Please spend the holidays being safe and staying healthy – good books and movies will help make the time go by. We will get through this!
YPL Holiday Plan of Service
Monday, December 14, 2020-Thursday, December 24, 2020
On Monday, December 14, Yonkers Public Library’s (YPL) Riverfront Library and Will Library will reopen to limited in-branch services through the Christmas Eve holiday.
To reduce crowding and improve safety, public computer use and table seating will be removed until further notice. Library visits should be short and limited to finding books and DVDs, picking up holds, or using self-service on our fax or photocopier machines.
Due to the social distancing challenges its small size presents, YPL’s Crestwood Library will continue contact-free pickup service through the period of 12/24.
Monday, December 28, 2020-Friday, January 8, 2021
Following Christmas weekend, YPL will once again return to contact-free pickup service. During this time we will monitor any post-holiday spread of COVID-19. Based on these numbers – as well as guidance from the city, state and county – we will decide about whether to continue with contact-free pickup or restore in-branch service in January.
