Ossining Public Library

The Ossining Public Library is a public library in Ossining located on Croton Avenue, with book collections, digital materials, and computer stations spread across multiple floors. The spaces are arranged to serve both research and borrowing needs, with dedicated study areas throughout the building.

The library began as a local institution and later became part of the Westchester Library System, expanding its role in regional education. This evolution reflects how a neighborhood facility grew into a connected network serving a larger area.

The library serves as a gathering place for families and regularly hosts film screenings and children's clubs that draw different age groups together. Visitors experience it as a living community center rather than a quiet reading room.

The facility is open Monday through Saturday with extended hours and offers internet access, study rooms, and lending assistance throughout the week. Visitors should expect varying traffic depending on the time of day and season, so flexible timing helps access available spaces more easily.

The facility uses the Evergreen ILS system, which allows visitors to access materials from other regional libraries in the network. This connection provides access to a much larger collection than the local holdings alone could offer.
