For this year's National Library Week, enjoy our first installment of: resources you might not have realized your library has!

La Biblioteca Pública de Yonkers (YPL) está suscripta a docenas de servicios en línea y bibliotecas de contenido, que van desde servicios de transmisión de video hasta bases de datos de investigación y aplicaciones de aprendizaje de idiomas.

April 2 is International Children’s Book Day, a celebration of reading and children’s literature.

Whether you’re a lover of books, movies, or TV shows, sometimes we need a little challenge to spice up our story life. Check out the challenges below and pick whichever ones spark your interest.

Reading to children is critical from the earliest stages of development.

We may be halfway through Women's History month, but there is always more to learn!

Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, reflection and prayer for Muslims around the world, began at sundown on March 11.

March 14th is National Write Your Story Day. As a library, Yonkers Public Library is dedicated to ensuring more stories are told -- true stories; fiction; everything in between -- and the stories of our patrons are no exception.

Black History Month may be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean the learning has to stop now!

Keep an eye on the sky! This week, from February 16 to 19, is the Great Backyard Bird Count!

Can you believe the school year is almost over? Pretty soon, spring will come out in full force  and summer will be here! But there’s plenty of schoolwork to get through before then.

This Saturday, February 10, is the Lunar New Year - a celebration of the arrival of spring and the coming new year in the lunisolar calendar. 

Next week, Valentine’s Day will be sharing its date with another important celebration! February 14th is also Book Giving Day.

Going to the library is a rite of passage for many young people. Do you remember eagerly receiving your first library card, gripping a pen in hand and signing your name in a squiggly scrawl?
