In 1875, residents banded together to found the nascent library as a simple reading room. In 1922 planning for a library building began. In 1942, the library building at the corner of Pondfield and Midland opened. Today the Bronxville Public Library has grown into an extraordinary resource, in part because of the efforts of its FRIENDS. Please become a member of The Friends of the Bronxville Library, and help us continue the tradition of community support for our library.

The Friends of the Bronx Public Library is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Bronxville Public Library. Their mission is to focus public attention on the Library’s services, facilities, and needs; sponsor special projects; secure materials that are beyond the reach of the regular Library budget; and perform other services helpful to this beloved institution.
