News from Mount Vernon Public Library.

28 South 1st Avenue Mount Vernon, NY 10550 914-668-1460 Dear Mount Vernon Resident, The Mount Vernon Public Library has made tremendous strides over the past few years and we have to thank you for your continued support. Our goal is to create a central library that we can be proud of; a place where people can come not only for literary material but a wide range of resources designed to improve the quality of your life. As we progress forward with exciting and innovative programming, our collection of materials and technological resources is growing and improving. We are well on our way in creating a new space just for our teens that will provide them with a greater ability to cross the digital divide. Our younger patrons are already utilizing improved digital access through upgrades to computers in our children's room and we have continued to develop partnerships with our community agencies. Things are looking great at the Mount Vernon Public Library. As a resident of Mount Vernon, I feel you should be allowed to share in the wonderful news concerning the Mount Vernon Public Library. The Board of Trustees of the Mount Vernon Public Library and staff would love for you to be a part of a celebration of our achievements. We invite you to our Open House to be held on Thursday, April 25, 2019 at 6:00 pm. At this event the Board of Trustees will provide a brief synopsis of our accomplishments and plans for this year.
