Mission: The Yonkers Public Library changes lives every day. Our expert, trusted staff help all the people of Yonkers find the information they need, the programs they enjoy, and the reading they love.
History: The Yonkers Public Library was established in 1893 to serve the citizens of the City of Yonkers. In 1903 the “Carnegie” library was built with a $50,000 donation from Andrew Carnegie. There are currently three branches; the Riverfront Branch in downtown Yonkers, the Grinton I. Will Branch on Central Avenue and the Crestwood Branch in the Crestwood section of the city.
I thank Ms. Davis for her valuable commentary. I don't mean the following as a criticism, I find it interesting, and rather charming. I grew up in New Rochelle, and I have noticed that many who grew up there, or nearby, pronounce the city name as Nerochelle. The w is dropped. This isn't true for people who are unacquainted with the place. They pronounce it as two words, which, of course, it is.
Hi, Yonkers Public Library I Hope you are well. I visited your RU-vid channel and your video-making is very Good. Your content ideas are very good. Thank you so much
For sure. It's so simple yet effective. Simplicity is sometimes very good. Especially when you are Jimmy Page. Thanks for watching, if you play guitar please download the tab, no strings attached. It's linked directly to my google drive.
OMG thank you so so so so so so much! I just watched a video of this song and absolutely loved it. Thought that there no way that there would be a lesson/ tab for it. You total legend!
Excellent presentation! How fortunate to have records that survived. My ancestors were from KY and MS and it was quite disappointing to learn of time-gaps in the records
The audio is very poor .... This sabotages the great presentation, and Historical information of this video. Please re-do this video with better quality audio.
Larry Frumkies’ personal history of Yonkers goes back to his mother’s family-many generations back to colonial times. Larry’s mother was a Dutch Jew came to America from a village outside of Amsterdam. Back then, Yonkers was a Dutch colony. His own personal history of Yonkers goes back to my mother’s family. His mother’s family came from a long line of woodworkers and craftsman. Fast forward to the 1960s, Larry was a radio star amongst the pirate radio station world, and there is much more… Larry loved the first two books of the Yonkers Trilogy, and I am so sorry that he passed from this world to the next before he could read “So Not Yonkers.” I have a feeling that he is still with us now.
Im related to the Gallaudets .the second name in the G section on the rock at Hudson Park of all the settlers in New rochelle..I think I should be entitled to a piece of land in new roc city. Lol
