Due
to renovations:
Friday,
September 3 the Children's Room will be
closed. September
7, 8 and 9 please enter through the Main
Entrance. The
Katonah Village Library will be
undergoing some renovations. The
1930 building designed by
Herr Rainsford which is on the
corner of Bedford Road and the Parkway is
a focal point of the village of
Katonah. The original entrance has
classical architectural details which
include a portico above the columns and
cupola up on the roof. The portico
and cupola are being restored and the
entire entrance will be painted.
All the details will remain the
same. The
Children's Room will also be undergoing a
renovation starting in September.
Thanks to a generous donor, we will be
getting new energy efficient lighting
similar tot he upstairs with colorful
detail lighting effects that will be
attractive for the children. Mary
Ricci, a local interior designer, donated
her services to the library to design a
color palette for the Children's room
that will look beautiful and still
emphasize the art displays that change
throughout the year. We will be
getting additional book shelves that will
help us increase the non-fiction
collection and relieve overcrowding in
the fiction book area. During
this work the Children's Room will be
closed so please watch for closing dates
as work progresses. We are sorry
for the inconvenience but we feel you
will appreciate the new renovations. As
always, feel free to contact me at vkozelka@wlsmail.org or
232-3508 if you have any questions or
suggestions. Best
regards, Van
Kozelka On
September 19th at 8:00pm access to your
online library card account will change.
To provide a greater level of security
and privacy, you will be required to
log-in to the online library catalog
using your library card number and a
personalized identification number (PIN)
before viewing information about your
account and to place a hold.
Your new PIN will be the last 4
digits of the phone number on your
library card account. To verify or update
the phone number on your library card
account, please call or visit your local
public library.
WLS encourages you to change your PIN to
something that will be easy for you to
remember, but that only you would know.
