✨ Lit by the River 2026 is a celebration of literature, creativity, and the writers in our community!

We began last week with our Jason Reynolds event and will be starting back up again on October 5, with a Banned Book Readout, followed by a Resin Bookmark Craft, Local Author Panel, Carson McCullers Program, and Fiction Workshop—and we’ll wrap up the week with the launch of our very first Lit by the River: Nyack Writers Anthology! 📖

Join us for one event, a few, or the whole week! There’s something for every book lover and aspiring writer.

Narcan is now available at the Nyack Library. 💜

We’re glad to share that a Narcan stand is now located just outside the parking lot doors of the Library, providing free access to Narcan for anyone who may need it.

Narcan can help reverse an opioid overdose and is an important resource to have available in our community.

Whether you’re picking up a book, attending a program, or simply passing by, we want our Library to be a place where everyone can find information, resources, and support.

A visit and conversation at Nyack Middle School was both memorable and necessary!

A heartfelt thank you to author Jason Reynolds for sharing his time, words, and inspiration with the school. And an enormous thank you to the impressive students who showed up with thoughtful, insightful questions and made the conversation so meaningful.

We are also grateful to Superintendent Dr. Lizette Ruiz-Giovinazzi, Principal David Johnson, Assistant Principal Dr. Karissa Sullivan, and Library Media Specialist Amanda Birro for welcoming our program and making it possible for all of the students to participate.

What a special opportunity to connect, listen, ask questions, and be inspired! 📚❤️

What a night to remember! A huge thank you to Jason Reynolds for an unforgettable evening, and to all of our wonderful patrons, staff, and Board members who helped make tonight so special. ❤️
