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

It is hard to believe NY State has been in "NY Pause"
for over 90 days. As we enter the "NY Forward" phase,
we appreciate your patience as the Library makes the necessary preparations to provide safe conditions
for all as we adjust to the "new normal". 
Continue to check the Library website for updates. 

Although the June Book Sale has been cancelled,
​please read below for update. 

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!

  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
