Email hgraff@dobbsferrylibrary.org.  Find out more info and play here.
  • Teens fill out this form to participate in DFPL Teen Summer Reading 2026!  Track and log your reading to win prizes!  You can pick up one of our paper reading logs at the circulation desk of the Dobbs Ferry Public Library or request that a copy of the log be sent to your email address.  Everyone who participates will get a ticket to our outdoor ice cream party in August!  Have questions? Email teen librarian Alex at teens@dobbsferrylibrary.org.  Find out more info and play here.
  • Children – you can earn points and prizes by reading books and coming to our events. Everyone who participates will get a ticket to our outdoor ice cream party in August!  This page will tell you everything you need to know about participating if your child is between the ages of 3 and 12.
