The Columbia County Libraries Association is pleased to announce that, through the generosity of the Hudson River Bank and Trust Foundation, all Columbia County libraries have again received grant awards that will assist in meeting the important needs of our communities.

These unrestricted grants will allow libraries to continue to provide services and programs that strengthen our communities by providing innovative, educational, and exciting programming; purchasing books and e-content; providing technology training and assistance; supporting staff development, and so much more.

The Hudson River Bank and Trust Foundation has historically recognized and supported libraries as invaluable assets to all communities they serve.

The Columbia County Libraries Association is a nonprofit corporation that supports the 11 public, association, and school district libraries in Columbia County, NY, by facilitating cooperation between libraries to better serve all the residents of Columbia County. By working together, we are able to leverage resources and expertise to allow individual libraries to provide more materials and services than we would be able to provide on our own, as small, independent libraries.
