This library is awesome for kids, I'm not really familiar with the other sections to be honest. The kids section has its own floor with an awesome ramp leading up to it or elevators accessible behind the building. It's large, has great books, and lots of toys to keep the kids busy, including a train table, puppet show stage, magnetic tables, etc etc. Their classes are also fantastic, we come from a neighboring town just to attend. The teacher/librarian is so interactive and the stories and songs are fun and engaging for the kids. Best of all the class concludes with them bringing out a bubble machine and the kids get to dance around in the bubbles for a couple of minutes, they all go wild for it.
A few cons, which are not necessarily the library's fault but should be noted, are that parking is a pain. They have maybe 4-5 spots and everything else is street parking, which can be tough to find since this library is located right off of a busy shopping/restaurant strip. Also, most of the classes are for Larchmont residents only and while I do understand that they want to cater to their residents first, it's a shame that we're only allowed to attend a single class a week, and that too on a first come first serve basis. Maybe one more class per week can be opened up to all?
I've been to 2-3 other libraries in the area and can say that Larchmont is certainly one of the best. read more
