The Library has a collection of over 300,000 items and a circulation of over 700,000 items per year.

Now, nearly a century later, Finkelstein Memorial Library – its trustees, its staff, its Friends and supporters – understand that today’s information needs cannot merely be satisfied through a collection of books alone. All manner of informational formats – including electronic databases, audio-visual materials, and educational and cultural programming designed to inspire and inform – are being taken into consideration as we develop a realistic plan for the years ahead.
