Friends of the Nyack Library News!

Thank you to all who participated in the June 2022 Book Sale.
The weather was beautiful and the village of Nyack was in
celebration. Another successful event thanks to the
donations of books and hours put in by the Friends volunteers!
We are pleased and grateful to live here!

A note of Appreciation to Director Angela Strong, who will be retiring
the end of June 2022, for her commitment and active participation
resulting in the Friends continued support to the Library
and the community. Good Luck and Happiness!

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,
