The Hands-Free Way to Borrow books
from the Westchester Library System
You will need a valid library card from a Westchester County library.
• To request a book by phone, call Warner Library at 914 631-7734 and ask for the Reference Librarian. Be sure to let the librarian know you are calling from Kendal so that your book will be put with other books to be picked up by Kendal Transportation.
• To request a book online go to www.warnerlibrary.org click on “Catalog” and follow the prompts. Your password is the last 4 digits of your Kendal phone number.
• Once a week, a Kendal driver will pick up the reserved books from Warner and bring them to the Kendal library. A library volunteer will call to let you know your book has arrived. You may collect it during the times the desk is staffed.
