The Voice of Business in Yonkers since 1893
The Yonkers Chamber of Commerce is the city’s voice of business, aggressively promoting measures and issues in the interest of conducting business in the city and working against anything that impairs or threatens the vitality of doing so. At every turn, the Chamber advocates and initiates programs designed to enhance the image of Yonkers and stimulate the marketing of Yonkers-based products and services. The Chamber actively "partners" with various government entities and business organizations to form a powerful network extending into every segment of business society.

Yonkers Public Library
This year, the Yonkers Public Library celebrates a milestone in its history, marking 125 years of service; back in 1893, State Librarian Melville Dewey (yes, the originator of the Dewey Decimal System) signed our charter and started us on a course to become the largest and busiest library in Westchester. Now with three branches, nearly 90,000 registered patrons, great collections, and popular programs for all ages, the Yonkers Public Library has much to be proud of.
