New Rochelle Public Library Foundation

Mission:

The New Rochelle Public Library Foundation, a nonprofit organization, raises resources, and provides advocacy, to keep our library vibrant, up-to-date, and able to serve the diverse needs of the New Rochelle community.

Who We Serve:

New Rochelle's economically and ethnically diverse population depends on the Library’s personnel and technology to provide them with the tools to follow their dreams:

• Our Children’s Room is the busiest room in the Library
• Teenagers who don’t have access to computers or online information at home, fill every floor after school and on weekends
• We serve more middle and high school students on a daily basis than at any other library in the County.
• We have more programming than any other library in the County.
• Our auditorium and gallery are booked solid year-round with over 2,100 cultural programs annually
• Job seekers of all ages get help with resumes and job searches at the Handelman Business Opportunity Center
• Hundreds of new community members learn English and prepare for citizenship through our free ESL classes
• Seniors are helped to file their taxes and benefit from many social service programs available at the Library.
