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.
Riverfront The Cove (2nd Floor)
Conceived as a multi-purpose indoor play and learning destination for pre-k children, The Cove renovation was designed with input from Sarah Lawrence College's Child's Development Institute. The Cove recognizes play as a crucial element to early childhood development - something that improves the cognitive, physical, social and emotional well-being of children.
The space features a nursery gym, a dramatic play area, reading nooks, riding and rocking toys, blocks and other manipulatives.
As one of the sole indoor play areas in the downtown, the space has already become a play and social destination for young kids and their caregivers who also get to discover new library books, programs and services whenever they visit.
Furniture and play equipment for The Cove was purchased in part with funding from a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and through increased capital investment from the City of Yonkers.
