The Marlboro Library is pleased to announce that patrons now have access to a selection of daily newspapers online, either inside the Library building or from home with a library card.

This service provides access to:

New York Times

Wall Street Journal

Los Angeles Times

Chicago Tribune

Washington Post

& other features!

To access the newspapers anytime without the link, simply visit marlborolibrary.org and click the link located under the ‘Online Research’ tab.

For at home access, patrons must enter a valid library card barcode.

These major daily newspapers are offered courtesy of funding from the Ulster County Legislature.

After many years of dedicated service, our Library Director, Christina Jennerich, has retired. We are incredibly grateful for her leadership and commitment to the Marlboro Free Library over the years, and we wish her all the best in this next chapter.

Stepping into the role of Director is Lindsay Jankovitz, who first started at the Marlboro Library in 2017 as our Adult Services Librarian, and has been the Assistant Director since 2021.

In addition, Tessa DeBella, who many of you know from story times and our youth events, will now be taking on the role of Adult Services Librarian and Programmer.

We are also excited to share that Library Clerk, Sydney Corwin, will be stepping into the Children’s Programmer role, and continuing our tradition of dynamic and innovative youth programming.

Stop by and say hello!
