Thank you healthcare workers for your strength, resilience and love! Thank you also to those who have donated to the Friends of the Nyack Library. It is through your generosity that we were able to help our community when they needed us. Know that while you were doing your part staying home and following Covid-19 guidelines, you also played a part in helping others. Thank you!

    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.
