White Plains Library Browsing To Be Suspended, Grab & Go Continues

Press release from the White Plains Public Library:

November 24 2020

By Brian Kenney, Library Director

In response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Westchester County, the Library is suspending browsing in the building. This means there will be no access to our first floor collections or the Trove beginning Friday, November 27.

We will continue to offer our Grab & Go pickup service in our vestibule as well as reference services via phone, text, and email.

Our online programs and services remain unaffected.

Mobile HotSpots and Museum Passes will still be available and must be reserved at least one day in advance of your pickup date. To reserve either, please call (914) 422-1400.

In addition, our Grab&Go Kits for kids, teens, and adults will be available on a table outside the main entrance while supplies last. Visit our online calendar to find out when new kits will become available.

To utilize Grab & Go pickup services, place items on hold through our catalog and you will be notified when they are available. All Grab & Go items are already checked out to you—no need to enter the building or interact with staff.

Both Grab & Go and our references services are available Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To return material at any time, use our book return to the left of our main entrance.

For assistance in using Grab & Go, utilizing our expansive eBook and streaming media collections, or with any other questions, contact 914-422-1400, text WPPL to 66746, or email us at librarian@whiteplainslibrary.org.

We will continue to monitor the situation and look forward to expanding our services as soon as possible.
