You may notice occasional delays or "Verify You Are Human" checks when searching the catalog or placing holds. This is due to security measures protecting the catalog from a rise in bot attacks affecting library systems nationwide. We know this can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience while we work through it. If you experience trouble searching or placing a hold, please reach out to your home library for assistance - we're happy to help!

You may notice delays of new books at libraries and longer wait times for holds due to the sudden closure of Baker & Taylor, the nation's major library book distributor. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience as WLS member libraries work to secure materials through other sources. In the meantime, search the catalog, explore digital resources like Libby, or ask a librarian for recommendations.

A strong cooperative library system empowers all of Westchester's public libraries to inform, enrich, and engage our communities making them stronger and more vibrant.
