Written by Stephanie Taylor, Editor-in-Chief, Intelligent Luxury
I love libraries! Libraries are here to help you study for school or for work. The programs at all libraries assist people in learning new employee skills and they may have programs to help you start and promote your business.
2018-2019 State budget,set apart $34 million in capital funds for public library construction and broadband infrastructure projects.
Rockland County Libraries Funding
Finkelstein Memorial Library in Spring Valley, who received $432,398
Nyack Library received $7,601
Pearl River Public Library received $4,911
Valley Cottage Free Library received $13,440
West Nyack Free Library received $72,671
"It is necessary that we support our public libraries," said Senator David Carlucci. Librars benefit adults, children, English-language learners and those with disabilities. Further, in some communities, libraries may serve as a child's only access to a computer with internet. I am proud to have supported $34 million in aid for our public libraries in this year's State budget. The funding will go a long way to making necessary upgrades to Rockland's libraries and those across the state."
“Public libraries are where we go to find much more than books. They are community gathering places, cultural hubs, learning, and technology centers. Our public libraries serve everyone,” said Assemblywoman Jaffee. “The funding New York State provides is critical because this funding ensures that our libraries deliver services equitably to our diverse communities. This $34 million investment reaffirms the responsibility we have as a state in maintaining libraries in every community, even if these communities may not always be our own.”
“The Nyack Library gratefully acknowledges the continued funding support and the state level advocacy that Assemblywoman Jaffee offers to our community. This important construction aid grant made it possible for Nyack Library to renovate the work area for our busiest and most visited department enabling our wonderful staff to better serve our public,” said Angela Strong, Director, Nyack Library. “Libraries are busy and vital public service centers for people to access print and digital materials, resources, programs and learning services. We invite everyone to visit Nyack Library to see for themselves the benefits of state funding for library construction.”
