The Pelham Parkway-Van Nest branch of The New York Public Library is a modern building with a distinctive facade. It is located around the corner from the busy shopping district on Lydig Avenue. This one-story facility houses adult, teen, and children's collections, as well as extensive World Languages collections, featuring books in Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, Spanish, Urdu, and many other languages. Programs and classes for people of all ages are offered daily in the glass-enclosed community room.
The New York Public Library has reopened all available branches. As of July 6, this location offers nearly full service, including general library use and seating, unlimited browsing, computer access, and more. In-person programs and classes will return over the coming months. Masks are still required for all persons in NYPL locations. See you at the library!
