The New City Free Library is a library located in New City, New York. Established as a single room in New City School in 1936, it has expanded into a 32,000-square-foot facility with over 200,000 volumes.
The library was officially launched on June 19, 1936, in response to a plan by the New York State Education Department to provide citizens of rural areas with library service. It began as a room in the New City School, opening one afternoon a week, but as the book collection of the library increased, space quickly became a concern. Funding also became a concern, particularly in 1950 when the New City School was no longer able to provide space or finances for the library. With grants and public donations, including a donation of land by the New City Fire Department, the library broke ground on a free-standing building on May 3, 1952. The library opened to the public on July 11, 1953, remaining opening for 12 hours each week.
