Our transformed Library will be an intellectual and cultural center for Scarsdale. As a cornerstone of our democracy, this Library will encourage the free exchange of ideas and bring our diverse community together.

Scarsdale Public Library will be known for its welcoming culture of possibility and accessibility, treasured as a place to read, write, create, discuss, listen, debate, connect and reflect. Committed to institutional reflection, innovation and professional excellence, Scarsdale Public Library will be a dynamic asset for our community and a leading public library.
