White Plains Public Library
Welcome to the White Plains Public Library
This is the home page for our local public library. One of the useful things you can do at this site is to check if the public library owns a copy of the book you want to read. If it does, you can place a hold on the book, online! (Let me know if you need help checking the catalog or placing a hold on a book).
World of Reading
World of Reading
Definitely check this site out. It's filled with reviews written by students. Find out what people your age are saying about the books they've read. You can even submit your own reviews to be added to this site! (Let me know if you submit any and I'll post it in the library!!!!).
