Will Library reopened 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

In 1644, a combined force of Dutch and English colonists attacked a Native American village in present day Westchester, NY. It was one of the deadliest attacks on the indigenous people on the Atlantic Coast. This is a documentary about the event, the colony of New Netherland (later New York), and the "River Tribes" of the Hudson River Valley.

There will be a Q&A with the director Jon Scott Bennett following the screening of the documentary.

This event is sponsored by the Crestwood Historical Society and Yonkers Historical Society.
