What's Special About this Amherst Public Library

• We host a wide variety of events for all ages and fundraise by having big book sales throughout the year.
• We offer an extensive collection of non-print materials, including DVDs/Blu-Rays, audiobooks on CD and many genres of music CDs. The Amherst Libraries also have a Library of Things collection and read-along books for youth (VOX & Wonderbooks).
  
• The Eggertsville-Snyder Library has a small Playroom with toys, best for children 6 and under. Caregivers must supervise children and the room closes 30 minutes prior to the library closing. The room was renovated in September 2024 with funds acquired from New York State by Assembly member Karen McMahon.
