History

The Yonkers Public Library was 
established in 1893 to serve the 
citizens of the City of Yonkers. 
In 1903 the "Carnegie" library
(pictured on right) was built 
with a $50,000 donation from 
Andrew Carnegie. There 
are currently three branches; 
the Riverfront Branch in downtown 
Yonkers, the Grinton I. Will Branch 
on Central Avenue and the 
Crestwood Branch in the 
Crestwood section of the city.
