I live in Westchester County, but not Yonkers
Only your home library can issue you a card. Once you get it, it will be honored in Yonkers and any other Westchester library.
I don't live in Westchester, but work or attend school in Yonkers
No problem, just show us proof of your employment or enrollment and you will receive a Yonkers Card. Please register in person; do not use the online form.
I don't live in Yonkers, but teach or work at a school there
You can apply for the YPL Educator Card. This card give you access to a broad array of eBooks and online learning resources (but not print materials), and you don’t even need to visit one of our libraries to register for one. If you live in Yonkers we recommend you apply for a standard library card below so that you are also eligible to borrow books and other materials.
I live in the Bronx
No problem, we love our southern neighbors! Register in person, or use the online form. Please note that Bronx residents must renew their library cards once a year, and that the cards can only be used at YPL locations.
Bronx residents may only use Yonkers branches and borrow Yonkers- owned materials. Materials from other libraries are not eligible for checkout by Bronx residents.
None of the above
You may purchase a card directly from the Westchester Library System for an annual fee of $75. Download the form here.
