Did you know.....

There is a "Book Nook" located next to the Computer Resource Center that houses an ongoing books for sale (please pay for these at Computer Resource Desk). There are also gift items on display that can be purchased at the 2nd Floor Circulation Desk.  Give a gift today! Support the Library!

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.

There is a new Local History scholarship available to a  Nyack HS Senior made possible through funds from the Friends.  We are very honored to be able to help our local youth continue their educational journey.  For more information, please contact
​Kat Sullivan in the Local History Department.

~Interesting fact about Nyack~
Berta and Elmer Hader moved to Grand-View-on-Hudson in 1919. They rented the old Lyall Hotel for $25 a month and lived there until the little stone house they built on River Road was ready to move into
in 1925. In that house they created the artwork for 91 books including their Caldecott Award winning The Big Snow. The Haders were dedicated to making children’s lives better, to preserving the beauty of the Hudson, to fostering conservation efforts and to forging incredible friendships. They lived a storybook life in a storybook house. Karen Tolley, director of Hader Connection and co-author of Berta and Elmer Hader: A Lifetime of Art, and Sybilla Cook, author of Drawn Together: A Biography of Berta and Elmer Hader (to be released in 2015), visited the Nyack Library in 2015.
(See picture above that also features FONL members Betty & Win Perry and Mary Anne Evangelist.) 
To learn more about Berta and Elmer please  visit www.haderconnection.com.
 Visit the Historical Society of the Nyacks located at the Depew House, 50 Piermont Ave.
