How can you help the library

Become an Associate! To meet the challenge of providing the highest possible standard of service, The Desmond-Fish Library created the Associates Program to assist with the program development and the continuing need to maintain and upgrade the facility and the beautiful grounds that surround it.

Associates make annual individual membership contributions of $500 or more and sponsor an annual gala fundraising dinner. This year's Associate's Dinner will be held on Sunday, June 7 at Monte Verde at Oldstone Manor in Cortlandt. More Information

Become a Friend of the Library. Funds raised through membership provide books and computers for the Library, special Library projects, Children's Summer Reading programs and free lectures and presentations.

We do no accept magazines, old encyclopedias, textbooks or Reader's Digest Condensed Books.

Donations can be brought through the side door and left next to the stair railing in front of the bathrooms. Do not leave books outside the building and please do not make your boxes too heavy for our volunteers to lift .
