SCORE at The Library
We are pleased to announce that SCORE Westchester has moved its offices to the Library. Their new home is located on the mezzanine level (ask at the Welcome Desk for directions).
SCORE Westchester, the local chapter of a national, nonprofit, volunteer organization, is a natural fit with the Library, and dramatically expands what we can offer the business community. SCORE is focused on providing mentoring and workshops for the small business community. While the mentoring will be conducted at the Library, SCORE's robust programming schedule includes events at the Library as well as locations across the county.
David Kellogg, Chairman of SCORE Westchester, commented, “We are extremely pleased that the White Plains Public Library will be our new home. We have enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Library, which has already been hosting some of our free mentoring sessions and workshops. We are excited to strengthen this relationship by relocating there.”
