Will Library reopens at 9am on Tuesday, April 21

Will Library closed due to an issue with defective electrical equipment. That equipment has since been replaced, passed City of Yonkers electrical inspection, and power has been restored by Con Edison. 

YPL thanks the Mayor's Office, the Department of Engineering, the Department of Buildings and Yonkers Fire Department for their help in resolving this issue. We also thank our patrons for their patience and understanding.

Join us to celebrate Yonkers as a World War II American Heritage City, honor local heroes, and learn about the Yonkers Home News! 

We'll honor local hero and Tuskegee Airman Ivan McRae, and we'll learn about library resources to study the people and industries in Yonkers that helped win the war.
