Hastings-On-Hudson Library

"Very good collection of fiction and non-fiction and books for children too. Also, there is a nice view of Hudson River from the reading area."

"Libraries have held a special place in my heart as early as six years of age. The Hastings Library is one of my very favorites because of its extraordinary staff competently led by Debbie Quinn. Mike helps you locate any book both inside and outside the Westchester Library System, while other staff members help in any way they can. Our library is beautifully set on a hill that overlooks the Hudson River. Its cozy yet efficient layout of desks, quiet rooms and peaceful atmosphere lends itself to being an outstanding library — a magical place in which to do one’s creative work! We often have exciting events where inspiring local writers read from, sign and sell their books. Just recently Regina, one of our librarians, spontaneously recommended a novel that she thought I would enjoy. I love our quaint and wonderful library!"

"I hate my hometown yonkers libraries. They are never respectful and quiet. I came here and was soooo relieved to find somewhere I can study. I felt safe and the view is gorgeous"

"I really love this library! Really beautiful and scenic views from the windows inside. Beautiful and scenic grounds And the staff is really exceptional! Regina really helped me out yesterday and spent some time with me picking out some books she thought I'd like! What a joy to visit this library!"

"A quiet reading room overlooking the Palisades is a really wonderful asset to the town. The library is not huge, but there's enough seating and there are group study and children's rooms available, too. The only complaints I have are the lack of a cafe and the fact that the tables have quite a build up of sticky grease on the edges from years of elbows and hands touching them."
