Pelham Parkway-Van Nest Library

Come to the Library, Wednesdays at 3 PM, and meet other people who are practicing English, just like you! Free Classes for English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Adult learners will have the opportunity to improve their English by watching We Speak NYC videos and discussing them with adults from other cultures.

There's nothing better than reading books by your favorite authors but how about listening to them to talk about them? We have a slew of author talks scheduled for the upcoming months. Register for them today!

If you have a tech problem, or question, or would just like some individualized tech tutorials, this is your time to work with a librarian and receive their personal attention and instruction!

Join us for songs, rhymes, and favorite read-aloud books in this storytime that's fun for the whole family. For young children of all ages. Ideal for caregivers with multiple-aged children.
