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.

STEM/Technology

STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. These four fields share an emphasis on innovation, problem-solving, and critical thinking. 

Join us for an exciting three-day adventure as we explore how to care for our planet through creativity, technology, and hands-on learning! Each day brings a unique opportunity to discover, design, and problem-solve:

Day 1: LEGO Robotics - Solving Problems When Environments Change
Explore how building in wetlands affects animals and design robotic solutions to help protect them.
Day 2: Minecraft Club - Mycelium Marvels: Protecting Paradise
Create sustainable eco-tourism trails on Mushroom Island in Minecraft Education, and learn how to support biodiversity and ecosystems.
Day 3: Science - Creating Natural Habitats - Discover the importance of natural habitats for zoo animals and use the engineering design process to build models that mimic their homes.

This program is made possible through a grant from Con Edison.
