New Rochelle Public Library

Situated in downtown New Rochelle, the New Rochelle Public Library (NRPL) offers a comprehensive collection that includes retrospective and current materials; up-to-date technology by which information can be accessed; and a wide range of community services and programs tailored to a diverse audience. Chartered in 1894, NRPL is a school-district library with its own operating budget and a Board of Trustees comprised of seven elected members. It has served the 72,000 residents of New Rochelle from its main library building in the downtown business district since 1979. A smaller branch, located in the park in front of the New Rochelle High School, was restored through a grassroots effort and reopened as the Huguenot Children’s Library in 1997.
