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.

Event Details

Regain your freedom of movement with this Bee-Line bus training program specifically designed for seniors.  As we age, transportation shouldn't limit our independence—it should enhance it!

This workshop covers everything you need to know:

  • Master essential bus safety skills and riding techniques
  • Discover accessibility features that make travel easier
  • Learn how to save money with the reduced fare program
  • Develop trip planning confidence with step-by-step guidance

Our program also addresses the unique challenges seniors face as pedestrians, including adapting to changing vision, fitness levels, and reaction times.  You'll learn defensive walking strategies and identify high-risk situations that demand extra caution.  Most importantly, we'll show you proven techniques to increase your visibility to drivers and navigate potentially dangerous scenarios with confidence.

Join us to transform your transportation experience and reclaim your independence!
