I have been to many libraries in my lifetime, but Greenburgh library is one gem of a place. It checks all the boxes for me; clean, quiet, accessible, great hours of operation, competent staff.

This is a very quiet, clean, and excellent library to go to. They give you plenty of time to use the computers especially if you have to take online classes or do job searches. This place is very close to home too. I hope that I do get hired here.

We love a visit to the library. The libearians always have a smile to share easily offer guidance. At this time, you can see a display of old items found around the Odell house in Greenburgh. An old lead pencil, that still writes, a bed warmer, and belt buckles and other accessories. Check it out on the 2nd floor.

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience there, back in the Summer of 1995. A (now deceased) Librarian named Nancy Larabee bullied me & reduced me to tears, when I worked with her. Okay, my condolences that she passed away because she was so young, but unfortunately I don't have good memories of her.

One of my favorite libraries. It boasts a full collection of reading materials, audio books, and dvds. The children's room is spacious and engaging. In fact, the whole premise is spacious enough to comfortably work or browse despite the high attendance rate!

Serves a much needed purpose in the community.

When it was first built I was not sure whether it was worth spending all the money for a fancy building. However this has proven to be a reasonable investment.

I had a emergency and needed some documents printed. A very nice man by the name of Tony helped me out tremendously. Calling me and bringing the print out within minutes. Thanks Tony! And thanks greenburgh library for the great staff!

It might be nostalgia, but I love this library. I use to live in Yonkers as a kid. My mom would bring me here in occasion by bus. Would play math blaster or pajama sam on the computers in the kids section. Pick out books to pour over at home. Me and my mom would eat lunch at the tables out back (not sure if they're there anymore.). But it was always a well kept library that always smelled of good books and fond memories. I miss being a kid in New York coming here. It's been more than 20 years since I've been here or lived in New York for that matter. So thanks for being a good library that stuck in my heart and mind.

Still closed due to COVID-19 despite website saying that they are open.
I love the Greenburgh Library. The comfortable setting and the surrounding light from all angles makes it easier to focus and study. Bring a light sweater or hoodie bcuz the AC can get too cold at times.

My favorite place to get work done! A great quiet floor that’s actually quiet, big windows to look out when I need a break, and good wifi. Also people studying all around so I stay motivated.

My only issue with this library are the hours - wish it was open later. As someone who gets out of school at 4 most days, a library that closes at 5.30 doesn’t give me much study time.

Very limited hours compared to other comparable communities. Workspace and business research resources are limited. It's a mother and child place. Nice architecture!

Great staff, great facility, and lots of great activities for all ages make this one of our favorite places to go each week.

The class is literally called "movers and shakers" for toddlers age 2-3. However, this woman who teaches expects your active 2 year old to nicely sit in your lap for the entire time. Meanwhile, the room is filled with foam play blocks but they expect your toddler not to be interested in them. Yeah ok

On the night of July 23,2019 my 20 month old son and I came here to explore for the first time. I drove by before and saw parking signs reserved for those with babies and strollers and thought to myself this must be a baby friendly place. As all 20 month olds do, my son had a meltdown and though my attempts to calm him down didn’t help much, I decided to leave (the children’s area, I doubt anyone there was studying for the MCAT).

As I was putting my son back in his stroller, a very snotty librarian came over and told me that we had to leave. She couldn’t wait to see if I strolled out of there first. I will never step foot back in this unfriendly and unwelcoming space. As a first time working- mother it doesn’t take much to feel defeated or guilty for not spending quality time with your child and this woman only helped to make me feel worse. Horrible staff and the facilities- though pretty on the outside are really outdated and dirty. Id rather drive the extra 15 miles and go to Yonkers Public Library. Friendlier staff that knows how to work with the public as well as a cleaner space.
