These include outstanding fiction as well as non-fiction materials in both the adult and children's areas, many in large print. We are increasing the size of our audio-book collection. The Yonkers Public Library has over 2,800 videos including classic and new-release films for both adults and children. We have a variety of recorded audio materials available for your use.
Materials are available for both children and adults.
The Yonkers Public Library now has over 1,000 nationally known magazines, including children's, business, scientific, sports, hobbyist and general new magazines available on-line or in print. If you need a book we do not own, we can usually send out a request and have it for you in a week or so. Our system next reaches out to the metropolitan New York area, and finally to the New York State region. Our adult programs aim to help you find imaginative, creative, interesting, thought-provoking, and workable ideas that can implemented in a timely manner. Through programming, the library provides cultural and recreational opportunities to the community, which is an important part of our mission.
