Thank you, Rhinebeck!

We’re so grateful for your support! The proposition to increase town funding for Starr Library passed with 73.3% approval—2,692 yes votes to 979 no votes.

Almost 80% of residents have a library card, and seven days a week, Starr is filled with people learning, creating, and connecting. Demand for library services and technology has grown significantly over the past five years. Your vote helps keep this essential community resource strong, with modest annual funding increases that support stability and help avoid large, intermittent cost hikes for residents.

Thank you for investing in the library and in one another. We’re proud to serve this community.

“A library in the middle of a community is a cross between an emergency exit, a life-raft and a festival. They are cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination.”
