NEW ROCHELLE, NY — The New Rochelle Public Library will be closed for regular operations on Tuesday, November 11th for Veteran’s Day. The library lobby will be open from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm, immediately following the Veteran’s Days services on Memorial Plaza, so that residents may view the exhibit, “Over There, Over Here: World War I Posters and New Rochelle’s Part in the Great War.” The exhibit marks the 100th anniversary of World War I, the “Great War” that involved all the world’s major economic powers and claimed over 10 million lives. The exhibit includes twenty-two World War I posters loaned by private collectors and archival photographs and items from the library’s local history collection.
The library will also open its doors on the evening of November 11th for the monthly meeting of the New Rochelle Public Library’s Board of Trustees, at 7:30 pm. The meeting was originally scheduled for November 13th. The Library Board of Trustees generally meets in the library’s Ossie Davis Theater on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 pm, with a public-to-be-heard session at 8:15 pm.
