2021 Report to Our Community

Little Free Libraries are here!

With generous support from LARAC's community arts and culture funding and the hard work of Scouts BSA Troop 6027, Greenwich is now home to three Little Free Libraries. Take a book and share a book! Find the new LFLs outside of St. Joseph's Parish Hall on Hill Street, on the corner of Sloan Drive and Prospect Street, and across from the Middle Falls Firehouse.

Fresh Food and Food Waste: your library's got you covered

Greenwich Free Library is now a proud partner in the Farm 2 Library program, providing fresh fruits and veggies to all patrons, thanks to Southern Adirondack Library System, Comfort Food Community, and Capital Roots Squash Hunger. Come by to see what's in season and stock up your pantry. You can also divert food waste away from the landfill by bringing in food scraps. In coordination with Adirondack Worm Farm, we are a drop-off site for your kitchen waste. Call, email, or drop by the library to register your household.

Join library staff for stories and activities in the Children's Room every Thursday at 3:00 PM. No registration required.
