General Info

The Greenburgh Public Library was granted its charter on August 24, 1962, and began library service to Greenburgh residents that month in rented rooms in a Dobbs Ferry Road Building. In 1969, the Library moved into an 18, 900 square-foot building in a central location on Tarrytown Road to better serve the public. At that time, we served a population of about 18, 500 people. Presently, we serve a population of approximately 44, 000 people, who reside in 10 separate school district areas of the unincorporated portions of the Town of Greenburgh. The Library has a collection of 186, 000 items, including books, periodicals, DVDs, videos, CDs and audio books. Greenburgh Library is the fifth largest member of the Westchester Library System, and in 2005 had the second highest circulation in the county. In early 2007, the Library began a renovation and expansion project, which resulted in doubling the building size and increasing the services we offer. During the renovation and expansion, which took two years to complete, we were providing full library services in satellite locations throughout Greenburgh, including the Town Hall and the Multipurpose Center. We are now back in the newly renovated building at 300 Tarrytown Rd.
