Friends of the Piermont Public Library

Posted: Wed, Jun 27, 2007

In April of 1990, the Friends of the Piermont Public Library was formed by a group of residents interested in building community support for the library. The Friends raise funds for the library through their programs and activities, and provide a liaison between the library board and the community at large. New members are always welcome.

Contact: Helene Winson at (845)398-3238.

Piermont: Three Centuries is a history of the Village of Piermont that was published by the Friends of the Piermont Library in 1996, in honor of the Library's Centennial. It is available at the Library for $15.00.
