"For many years may it stand as a monument to the generosity of public spirited men and a temple of delight and blessing to all who enter its doors and borrow from its treasures..." Rev. R.H. Herron, 1st Presbyterian Church May 21, 1903
Established in 1879, The Nyack Library serves the residents of Nyack, Upper Nyack, South Nyack, Grand View, and Valley Cottage. Our trained staff can assist you in the use of the collection or direct you to other sources of information. If a desired item is not in the Ramapo Catskill Library System, our staff can request it through Interlibrary Loan from another library system. The collection of books, periodicals, and audiovisuals is enhanced with electronic access.
The Nyack Library aims to provide all members of its community with the materials and the professional, caring staff assistance they need to help them gain knowledge, broaden their lives, and fulfill their cultural, intellectual, educational, and recreational needs.
The Library puts special emphasis on providing timely and accurate information; on meeting recreational needs with current, high-interest materials in a variety of formats; and on stimulating children's and young adult's appreciation of reading and learning.
The Library promotes free and open access to its collections and resources to every member of the community.
