Nice staff that truly cares about the youth and books that are classic and modern. This library has something I have never seen before. An entire separate wing for 0 to 10 or 11 years olds. I am impressed. When I walked in there they have two to three staff working in diffrent areas with the young children. Walk over through sliding glass door and then walk into a separate larger two floor wing. Here you find the friendliest security guard named Jerry. He sits in front of the teen's computer youth area. Then walk over to the adult area fitted with computers for the public to use (with a valid library card). Youth coordinator is fantastic. He is energetic and bringing great programs for the teens. Librarians are very sweet and always ready to help. I am very happy to call this our new home away from home.

(Not that you WANT to be walking around in that neighborhood after dark.) The library in Yorktown is only open until 6 or so. Now that I follow R.L.

Hello dear neighbors, hello dear community,…read more My name is Tsisnami "Sissy" Sakvarlishvili, and I live in Tarrytown. I am the author of three books, and my third book is about the country I come from - Georgia. Because many people confuse Georgia with Russia, or with the state of Georgia, I decided to write a book to help Americans better understand my country, its history, culture, and identity. My book, Georgia after the Collapse of the Soviet Union, is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I know I am not a famous author, but I am trying to find my way. I have held book talks at community colleges, local libraries, and coffee shops. I just returned from Los Angeles, where I had a wonderful conversation with students at Glendale Community College. Usually, the process works like this: I visit libraries, introduce myself to directors, and ask if I may hold a talk there. For example, Amagansett Library had me sign a contract and organized the event professionally. With Warner Library, things were very different. At first, I sent three emails to the library director, Ms. Pacciotti, but never received a response because my emails ended up in spam. Three times I went to the library in person, and she was not there. One of the front desk workers even suggested that I file a complaint. I said no, because I did not want to begin a relationship that way. Finally, on my fourth visit, I was lucky enough to meet Ms. Pacciotti in person. It was kind of her to meet with me without an appointment, and together we scheduled my talk for May 28 at 6 p.m. She asked if I wanted to be paid, and I said no. For me, money is not the most important thing. What matters is connecting with local people, meeting my neighbors, and sharing the history and culture of my country. Two weeks before the event, I emailed her asking whether the library was promoting it. Had flyers been printed and shared? A librarian told me the event was not even on the calendar. So how were local people supposed to know about it if the library was not promoting it? I emailed the director again asking what was going on and why the event was not listed on the website, calendar, or social media pages. This is the AI era. A nice flyer and proper promotion could have been created very easily. She later apologized and sent me a simple flyer, but the event still was not properly listed anywhere on the library's website, and the library did not even order my books. I felt deeply disappointed and sad. When you are a director, I believe it is your responsibility to support your local community. I live right near the library on Woodland Avenue in Tarrytown, and honestly, I did not see much effort from her side. I felt like I was not taken seriously and that my work and passion were dismissed. What hurt me most was that after I expressed my feelings honestly, I was told that I was no longer welcome there. This is not the first closed door I have faced in life, but it still hurts. I truly wanted connection and hoped to build something meaningful with my local community. I do not believe I deserved this kind of treatment. Who is responsible for making sure local institutions treat people with professionalism and respect? Who can I write to about this experience? Please open your hearts and be kind to one another. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and humanity. Spread love, not hate. Sissy

I live close by and among the public libraries around, this is definitely my favorite. The main reading area has 4 tables that seat 4 people as well as a couple of couches. Each table has outlets, so you can plug in your laptop and do work/study easily. Wifi is free and has excellent speed! There are also individual rooms with tables that seat about 4 as well. The best thing about this library is that is has natural lighting throughout. This makes it a very good place to spend the entire day studying/working. The natural sunlight keeps the place nice and bright, unlike many libraries that have a dark and dull atmosphere. I really do believe the lighting helps with focus and mood, making it a great place to study! I choose this place over other public libraries as well as coffee shops in the area. It has a great overall atmosphere and I recommend it for all people trying to get work/studying done.

The Croton Library is close to our usual NY stomping grounds, but we hadn't been, so we took one weekday afternoon to check it out. I'm very glad we did, since I think this is now my favorite library in New York, and definitely on the Top Five list period! The library looks small on the outside, but don't be fooled by its commonplace appearance. While it may lack the grandeur of others of its kin, step inside, and you'll see a gorgeous space with an ample children's section, hundreds of DVDs and audiobooks, and shelves upon shelves of adult fiction and nonfiction sections. You could easily spend all day just browsing the stacks - never mind even getting around to reading! I was especially delighted to come across a hard to find book about the making of Pulp Fiction, and enjoyed getting lost in the world of Tarantino while I sat in one of the comfy chairs they have for reading! Shout out to library page extraordinaire, Julian, for his impeccable customer service and helpful friendliness when we had a zillion questions about random and obscure books. As other reviewers have said - there's not enough good things to say about this library! Truly awesome!

There used to be a charge, but not any more. The library itself has numerous quite spots in which you can sit in a comfortable chair with a nice view and quiet.

It's a quintessential Bronxville institution, but seems to have a broader number of users than just Bronxville itself.
