Over the last several years, membership dues and funds raised
at Friends events have been used by the library for (among
other things):
- programs for children of all ages, from toddlers
to teens; - adult programming, including lectures, exhibits,
film series, readings, theatrical performances and concerts; - the purchase of CDs, audio books, DVDs, Playaways, and museum passes;
- the acquisition of a grand piano for the library’s program room, thanks to which the library now can offer a regular series of music performances;
- the restoration of the beautiful Tiffany Reading Room of the original Public Library in Irvington Town Hall.
- the transformation of the library courtyard into a reading garden in honor of Pamela Strachan.
