New Rochelle Public Library is a municipal library serving the city of New Rochelle, New York, operating from its main facility at 1 Library Plaza since 1979. Chartered in 1894, it functions as a school-district library with its own operating budget and a seven-member Board of Trustees, offering a broad collection that spans retrospective and current materials alongside contemporary information-access technology. The library provides a range of community services and programs aimed at a diverse local audience, addressing information needs, learning, and cultural engagement for the city’s residents. A smaller branch, the Huguenot Children’s Library, was restored and reopened in 1997 in the park in front of New Rochelle High School, expanding access to library services at a neighborhood level. In recent years, NRPL has pursued capital-related projects and programming initiatives within the local library system.
