Due to reductions in the library’s budget brought about by the city’s budget crisis, the Yonkers Public Library is making the following schedule changes:

Beginning Saturday, July 3, all branches of the Library will be closed on Saturdays until further notice.

Beginning Tuesday, July 6, the Library will be following a new weekday schedule which will remain in effect until further notice.  The new hours will be:

The Grinton I. Will Branch:

Mon., Tues.,Wed:  10AM – 8PM

Thurs., Fri.: 10AM – 5PM

The Riverfront Library Branch: 

Mon., Wed., Thurs: 10AM – 8PM

Tues., Fri.: 10AM – 5PM

The Crestwood Branch:

Mon., Wed., Fri: 10AM – 5PM

Tues: 1PM – 5PM

Thurs.: 1PM – 8PM

The Riverfront Library Branch will be hosting activities as part of two previously scheduled events in September:  Yonkers Riverfest on September 11 and the Mexican Independence Bicentennial program on September 18.

Any restoration of Saturday hours will depend upon changes in the level of funding from the City as the fiscal year unfolds.  The Library Board, administration, and staff regret that these service cuts have become necessary and hope that the budgetary situation will improve so that full library service can be restored in the not too distant future.
