Woodlawn Heights Library
Your friendly neighborhood library!
In 1931, the Woodlawn Heights Branch Library of The New York Public Library began as a storefront of 900-square feet on East 237th Street and Katonah Avenue. In 1969, the library moved to the corner of East 239th and Katonah just three blocks from the Yonkers border and now occupies a modest 2500-square feet. This cozy one-floor branch is accessible to persons using wheelchairs and houses materials for adults, young adults, and children.
