• In-app notifications for holds, items due soon, overdue items, and account expiration.
• And more!

To download, visit the App Store or the Google Play Store and search ‘Mid-Hudson Libraries’.

The Marlboro Free Library’s Trustee Election was held in conjunction with the Marlboro Central School District’s vote. Cheryl Werba received 550 votes and was re-elected to the Board of Trustees for a five-year term. The Library did not have a budget increase for the fiscal year 2025-2026, therefore a vote was not required according to Education Law.



Thank you to all who came out and voted!
