About the branch

The Finkelstein Memorial Library is a free public library founded in 1917, now serving 130,000 people in the East Ramapo Central School District of Rockland County, New York.

Our collection has something for everyone: books for children and adults, DVDs, audio books, music CDs and other materials. We offer a wide variety of programs and classes for the community. Computers with internet access, word processing, spreadsheets, and other applications are available throughout the library. Wireless internet access if free and also available.

Finkelstein Memorial Library has continued commitment to lifelong learning and educational support, Now, nearly a century later, Finkelstein Memorial library – its trustees, its staff, its friends and supporters – understand that today’s information needs cannot merely be satisfied through a collection of books alone. All manner of information formats are provided.
