I like that the library is an inclusive place. I want it to serve homeless community members. However, I'm discomfited when I see homeless community members misusing the library as a daytime shelter. I want people of all abilities to be welcome in the library. However, the environment of a library requires that mentally ill community members be able to regulate their behavior.

Programs on current events/social issues, I would find it helpful to have a tutorial on using the catalog effectively, ideally online, self-paced, perhaps divided by short focused topics to be accessed on demand. I am an experienced searcher, but still feel I am missing things. Perhaps this could be a system-wide effort?

I think the Library has made great improvements over the past few years, especially with the latest renovation. It is a great place, with lots of offerings for everyone. The staff handled the challenges of the pandemic closing with great success.
The WPPL is my favorite place to be in White Plains.

I am very pleased with how the library staff responded to the pandemic and developed tools for the public to use — to stay connected, to continue to be library patrons, to read, to listen, to learn. Some people needed resources for home schooling. The staff was great. The staff is great.

I miss going to the actual building, but I don't feel safe enough yet, despite completing my vaccinations. Plus the horrible parking. Why did they ever eliminate the curb-cut in front of the LIBRARY entrance and put it in front of the CAFE entrance?! It made it way more difficult for us cane — and other device — users.

I would love to see some “screen free” time in the Children's area (or move screens somewhere else). When we would bring our kids to the children's area to look for books, they would invariably get distracted by the screens, which were not of much real value. It would have been great to not have them, or to be able to go during hours when the screens were offline. Thanks!

I value the library because it lets me be with others and be with myself. I find energy in the offerings. It’s the only place in White Plains where I feel I’m amidst all of the diversity of White Plains. In its social justice/equity mission the Library serves me and others. I can’t wait to go back inside.

I've been very happy with all of your services. I would like to see more older books in the cafe/library book store, ones that I might not have read when I was younger. Some older fiction.

The grab & go service has been invaluable during the pandemic. My only concern is the length of time it took to get books. I thought it was unnecessary to shut down the entire system when an employee got Covid. Your employees could wear gloves and masks to handle the material.

I have been a member of the WPPL for 44 years. I love this library. I brought my children to the library on a weekly basis as they were growing up. They loved it. As a former reading teacher and acting librarian in the middle school I taught in, there is no place I’d rather be than my library.

I enjoy the library, but I wish there were more large print – it seems mostly mysteries and other “popular” books. Other Westchester libraries have more variety.

Also, more study rooms or rooms to be reserved or just available for discussion by only a few people.

It would be a huge plus to keep down the noise and the constant running around generated by the Edge. They don’t learn anything in that room, they are loud, they run out of the library and back in again. Make these kids have some respect for everyone else who use the library.

I haven't used any public library since Covid started. I have always thought highly of WP Library. In the past year I have spent a great deal of time researching local history (NWP). I called the WP Library looking for an index of old issues of The Journal News formerly known as The Reporter Dispatch. I believe these old newspaper are not online. I've used the North Castle Library for old newspaper which are now digital. This would be a great project for the library!

If there ever were a way for Ancestry to allow interaction between their library edition and personal Ancestry.com accounts (to save material to personal family trees, for example), that would be great.

As I said above, it's time for you to open. I don't even understand why you shut down. I used to go weekly before – very few people were there, staff were safely behind plexi-glass. You can be open and maintain strict social distancing and offer a safe experience for all.

I live in White Plains, but usually use the Greenburgh Library primarily because of the easy and free outdoor parking lot and a more collegial atmosphere. Your renovation is attractive, and I like the cafe, though it could have a better selection of inexpensive options. Your women's bathroom is unclean and poorly renovated. I would like to support the library in my city, but the parking situation is a real deal breaker.

Wonderful pandemic relief, love creative writing with Julia Rust and photography class I took awhile back. Instructor was from Beacon, NY would love to attend more of her classes.
We could use ongoing gardening and bird watching classes.

I'm an avid general reader and big fan of the library. You've done a good job during the pandemic. Being able to browse, reserve and renew books online is handy, and I appreciate being able to choose books from any Westchester library. It sometimes (not always?) seems that the books I reserve start their 3-wk period when they are available to me, rather than the day I actually pick them up, shortening the time I have to read them. Of course, I'd prefer to have the 3 wks start when I pick up.

I love the White Plains Library. The staff is always polite and helpful. I really appreciate that the library found ways to accommodate lending books & providing programs during the pandemic. Thanks to your commitment to serving the community, I was able to enjoy good books during the pandemic. Thank you White Plains Library Staff, keep up the great work!

YOU NEED TO EITHER OPEN THE LIBRARY OR JUST CLOSE IT FOR GOOD. THE CURRENT SITUATION OF LIMITING ACCESS TO GRAB AND GO ( THAT WAS CANCELLED FOR A PERIOD AS WELL) IS ABSURD. WE PAY TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE LIBRARY STUFF TO BE “HIDING” INSIDE THE CLOSED BUIDLING.

We frequently visited the library for children's programs or to use the Trove prepandemic. The library has wonderful children's programs and improved so much with the renovations to the area. The summer sometimes has the best programs! My only suggestion would be to monitor the children's areas, sometimes children are unattended and one time a homeless person was in that area and stole a cell phone. I chose streaming services as an area to improve only because I had to choose something and we're in a pandemic so that's what made sense, but I don't think anything really needs improvement. The virtual children's programs you have offered have been really impressive.

I mostly borrow e-books from the library on Overdrive. When I first started to do this a number of years ago, I was able to add White Plains Library to my list of libraries (i.e., in addition to The Westchester Library System, NY Public Library, etc.) and borrow e-books directly from the white Plains Library for 3 weeks. At some point, my ability to do this stopped and I could only borrow books for 2 weeks through WLS and for only 2 weeks. I called the WP Library for more information about this; none was forthcoming. I then went to the Library to speak with someone in person but no one was able to give me any information about this change. To date, I still don't know why this happened and while I do still borrow books from WLS via Overdrive app, I much preferred to be able to borrow directly from WP Library for the additional week. And as I use the Overdrive app, there is less of a reason for me to visit the actual WP website. It would be nice to know why all this transpired in the first place.

I wish you had a smarter computer program. It fails to find things without precise information, as opposed to responding to a clue.

It has been quite hard for everyone during this Pandemic. The Grab and Go was suspended, I try to do a lot of the Programs offered on Zoom but Technical Issues on my end, and Christiana has been most helpful when I need to know about special Events or Schedule Changes, etc. I hope we can get back to the Library in the coming year. Please add Handicap areas with better seating, access (perhaps a map) as a guide to what is needed, and maybe free Stretch Chair Exercises (cannot afford $12 per class). Thank you.

I really hope this is not the future of Westchester libraries..to be permanently closed to the public for browsing. This is not what our tax dollars and donations pay for. As vaccines increase and case numbers decrease, I expect White Plains to open again.

Thank you yo your dedicated staff who continue to serve the public during the pandemic! The grab and go works well and I appreciate that our library could be”open”.
My 2 cents:
Your computer search system could be more friendlier like the old system: eg provided titles of new DVDs.
Telephone calls notifying me of held items did not always leave a message which is puzzling as to why the inconsistency.

Would the library push the moral teachings of Christianity on its patrons? I would hope not. Why, then, is there a push for patrons to become antiracists? Don't get me wrong, I think racism is bad as much as I think the moral teachings of Jesus are good. However, I do not look to the library for moral guidance, regardless of what “religion” it is, and quite frankly, as a patron for many years I am offended by the direction I see the library headed, judging from the newsletters and blog posts. The library has always been a source of community, not activism. Please keep it that way.

Vaccines are now widely available. Self checkout is available. The staff is protected by plastic shielding at the circulation desk. Chairs and computers have been removed. The number of persons permitted in the building can be easily controlled. There is no need for staff to get anywhere near patrons. It's time to open the library!!

Some (not all) librarians and staff at the front desks and in the back could be more supportive and welcoming. At times, there is a feeling that you are not welcome or a bother.
The lighting could be improved. Too dark.

To be honest. There is very little that I would change. The staff is always friendly and eager to help. Maybe having more programs for tweens. It is such a transitional age and can often get lost between childhood and teen programs.

It would be nice to be provided an expected date for picking up a Grab and Go book request. It has taken 2+ weeks to get a book that I thought was on the shelves at WP Library. Turns out the book was not from WP! However, I am extremely satisfied with the selection of large print books and audiobooks. Hoopla has almost replaced my need for audiobooks.

I love White Plains Public Library and have always enjoyed visiting and borrowing books. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I can't wait until the library is open again and look forward to my first visit back. In the meantime, I find a wealth of material via the library's website which remains excellent. Thank you for all you do for our community and best wishes!

Yes, I will elaborate on the Edge. Doesn’t seem like much learning got on with kids running in and out of that room and through the library to the exit. It is annoying to people who wish to work or study in a quiet place. These people have rights, too.
Please observe this and make appropriate changes.

It would be great if Ancestry allowed material from the Library Edition to be save to personal Ancestry.com family trees.

Also, is there an online way to simply browse the White Plains library collection of books on CD or to get a list of new books on CD?

It has been unacceptable that a publicly funded resource has chosen to stay closed to the public far longer than necessitated by the current state of the pandemic in our local community. The drive and go program was a barely adequate alternative to the libraries main functions. The library needs to return (and stay open) for in person services as soon as possible.
