Library and Information Services

Yonkers School Library Services provides support for library media programs throughout the district. In addition to the support given for instructional library media programs for students, Library Services provides many services and resources not only for Library Media Specialists, but also for teachers, administrators and staff.

Collaboration between teachers and the Library Media Specialist is strongly encouraged, in order to emphasize interdisciplinary approaches and meet Yonkers and New York State Standards. Many resources are found in each School Library Media Center and on the web. The Yonkers School District through Library Services subscribes to several online resources. There is also a searchable Union Catalog on the Yonkers Public Schools (YPS) web site, where records of the books and materials in all the School Library Media Centers are posted. In most cases your Library Media Specialist can direct you to these web-based resources that will be valuable to you in lesson preparation and pursuit of information.

Resources physically housed at Library Services include:

  • Professional Library
    Contains general and subject specific reference books, Newbery and Caldecott award winners, big books, flannel board stories, and audio books. An extensive list of professional periodicals is also subscribed to by Library Services. The School Library Media Specialist has lists of these materials, except for the reference books, which can be found in the Union Catalog on the YPS web site.
  • Video/DVD Library
    Includes approximately 7,131 Videos, 1,191 DVDs, and 800 audio books. Approximately 2,500 of the videos and DVDs have a copyright date after the year 2000. The films, videos, audiobooks searchable in the online Union Catalog found on the YPS web site.

All members of the Yonkers Public Schools' community are urged to use their school library and to contact the Yonkers School Library System Headquarters to learn more about the variety of services available to them.

Library Services also offers database searches and Interlibrary Loan services. You may contact your School Library Media Specialist with a request or call Library Services directly at 914-376-8181 or email libserv@westnet.com.
