The Friends of the Nyack Library are volunteers who love books and who appreciate the role of the library. In sharing our love of books and understanding the vital part the library plays in the community, our goal is to reach out in a variety of ways to enhance library services.

  There are two new Free Little Libraries located by the Children's Park in Memorial Park and by the Veterans Memorial Park that are stocked by the Friends with donated books. Working with Sadie on this Girl Scout project was a pleasure and a wonderful way for the Library to collaborate with another community organization.
