Nyack Library

First organized in 1879 using
rented quarters, the Nyack
Library building was erected
in 1903. It was designed by
local architects Marshall and
Henry Emery. Andrew Carnegie
donated $15,000 and the villages
of Nyack, South Nyack, Upper
Nyack and Grand View-on-Hudson
agreed to furnish the required
annual funding.

The Carnegie room is the original
library and the building facade has
remained unchanged.

The Nyack library is the only
Carnegie library in Rockland County.
