About the Library:
The library was established in 1919. The first by-laws were adopted on May 22, 1919 and the library was officially named the Amenia Free Library Association.
On November 30, 1935, the library signed a lease with the First Presbyterian Church of Amenia, which granted the library to use of the present parcel of the land for one dollar a year (the parcel was purchased by the library in 2014).
The present library building was built on the parcel with WPA (Works Progress Administration) funds. We are here to encourage people of all ages to enjoy reading and learning.
Board of Trustees:
Kevin Boyd, Robert Brady, Virginia Eschbach, Amanda Forbes, Alan Gamble (President), Linda Gregory, Charlotte Murphy, David Stanford and Mary Ann Wilkens.
