The East Greenbush Community Library serves a chartered special district, including the town of East Greenbush, New York and portions of the town of Schodack, New York under contract, bringing the total number of patrons to nearly 30,000. The library is also a member of the Upper Hudson Library System, a resource-sharing consortium consisting of the 29 public libraries in Albany and Rensselaer Counties. Located in southern Rensselaer County, New York, off Route 151 (Luther Road), the library shares a 39 acre tract of former farmland with the YMCA and Hawthorne Ridge, a multi-use senior housing complex. The East Greenbush Community Library is a busy, suburban library with holdings of 98,622 items, 26 public computers, four meeting rooms and programming for all ages. In 2011, 228,146 people entered the library.〔East Greenbush Community Library Statistics, December 2011. Retrieved April 5, 2012 from East Greenbush Community Library website: http://www.eastgreenbushlibrary.org/images/Graphics/December%202011%20short%20version%20stats.pdf.〕 The “Friends of the Library”, made up of a dedicated group of volunteers, runs four lucrative book sales each year, supporting the library’s collection and programming. ==History== Originally, library services in East Greenbush were provided by two “association” libraries that opened in the 1940s. The Katherine Wirth Memorial Library was located in the basement of the Clinton Heights School (now the East Greenbush Town Hall) and the other was located in the Bates Building on Columbia Turnpike. In 1974 the two merged, with the main branch located in the Bates Building. In 1984, the collection was unified and moved to a 2,670 square foot area of the Town Hall. In 1988, residents voted in favor of creating a taxing district for the library that made it a true town library.〔Shaw, K. (2000, June 26). The Karen Wirth Memorial Library. The Columbia County Independent (Hillsdale, NY.)〕 Today, residents vote directly on the library budget and the governing Board of Trustees.
