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.

Program Description

Event Details

Join us for a conversation with award-winning journalist and author, Clara Bingham, as she discusses her new book, The Movement: How Women’s Liberation Transformed America, 1963-1973

Register here for this special event.

The Movement is a comprehensive and engaging oral history of the decade that defined the feminist movement, including interviews with living icons and unsung heroes. Through the captivating voices of the people who lived it, The Movement tells the inside story of what it felt like to be at the forefront of the modern feminist crusade when women rejected thousands of years of custom and demanded the freedom to be who they wanted and needed to be. Artists and politicians, athletes and lawyers, The Movement brings readers into the rooms where these women insisted on being treated as first-class citizens and, in the process, changed the fabric of American life. 

The YPL Presents: Virtual Author series is funded and supported by the Foundation for the Yonkers Public Library.
