The Starr Library in Rhinebeck was founded in 1862 and underwent renovation and added a wing a few years ago. A library is an anchor in the community and caters to all age groups.

I know that in the age of internet, we conduct most of our information search online, however keep the library in mind as a valuable resource. I have found that there are times I can't find something online but will find an old book in the library that provides the needed information.
Yes the library is a resource not to be overlooked, some of the other services include books on tape, you can take out movies and CD's. The neat thing to remember is that if your local library does not have a particular item they can get it from another library and you can pick up the item at your local library.
