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.

 Friends Update

The June Book Sale has been cancelled.
The Friends of the Nyack Library will keep you posted as to when 
the next book sale will take place.
Please check for updates on the Nyack Library website.

Please put Friday April 30th on your calendar for
​the Friends of the Nyack Library Annual Meeting @7pm via zoom
with guest speaker Art Gunther. More information to follow. 

************************************

Thank you for inviting us into your homes this past year with the myriad of programs for patrons of all ages.  It was comforting to know we were able to reach out and keep you safe, informed and hopefully entertained! 
The Library is now open for Book & Browse and we welcome seeing all of you face to face (or should I say mask to mask). You can continue 
to book a session in the Computer Resource Center for up to 30 minutes and you can still use Curbside Pickup at either the Broadway
​or the Parking Lot entrance.
   Just call and book a time to pick up your items.
Please check out the website for instructions
to make the appointment.
Continue to check the Library website for updates.

The Library's Director Angela Strong and Sharon Aperto, President of the Friends, presenting the Nyack Library's donation to the healthcare workers at Montefiore Nyack Hospital - Hershey Kisses and Tablets with much love! 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!
