Mamaroneck Public Library: A Century of Serving the Community
Welcome to Mamaroneck Public Library, a beloved institution that has been serving the community for almost a century. As we approach our centennial in 2023, we are proud to reflect on our rich history and look forward to continuing to provide valuable resources and services for generations to come.
Our library is more than just a place where you can borrow books. We offer a wide range of programs and activities for people of all ages, from storytime sessions for toddlers to book clubs for adults. Our public access computers are up and running again, providing free internet access and other digital resources that are essential in today's world.
One of our most popular programs is the Summer Reading Program, which is designed to encourage children, tweens, and teens to read during their summer break. This program not only helps prevent the "summer slide" but also fosters a love of reading that can last a lifetime.
As we prepare for our centennial celebration in 2023, we invite you to join us in reflecting on our past achievements while looking forward with excitement at what's yet to come. Our year-long celebration will highlight some of the many ways that Mamaroneck Public Library has impacted the community over the years.
