The Ardsley Library
​is now open for you to come inside!
We will continue to remain open for curbside pickup.

In order to secure the safety of our Staff and Patrons, we have instigated the following precautions:
***Masks Must be Worn by Both Patrons and Staff at All Times***
  1. On Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the Library will be open to the public from 2 pm to 4 pm for browsing and selection of books, DVDs, and Audio items. A total of 5 individuals at a time will be allowed in the Library for a total of 30 minutes, by appointment only. We will only be allowing one family with children per time slot. You can call the Library at 693-6636 to make an appointment.
  2. Our computers, restrooms, seating and toys in the Children’s room will not be available for use. There is access to our Wi-Fi available in our garden and from the parking lot.
  3. After you have made your selections, go to the front desk to check them out.
  4. If you decide not to take an item you have handled, please leave it in the designated bin, where it will be quarantined and then returned to the proper shelf.
  5. If returning items, place them in the outside drops or in the book drop at the front desk. Do not leave them on top of the desk or anywhere else. No items will be handled immediately upon return - they will be quarantined for 72 hours before they are checked in.
 
  • Please use the hand sanitizer at the front door. 
  • We ask that anyone entering the Library practice social distancing both from the staff and other patrons.
  • Stand behind the shields while checking out and give everyone space to browse.
