Newburgh Free Library
The Newburgh (N.Y.) Library Association was established in 1836 as a subscription library. Two years later, in 1838, the Newburgh Mechanics' Library Association was founded. In addition to maintaining a library, the Mechanics' Library Association began, in 1846, to offer public lectures. In 1847, the Newburgh Library Association transferred its collections to the Mechanics' Library Association. Newburgh also had several school district libraries in this period. In 1852, the libraries of the Glebe School and High School were united, and in 1861, the books belonging to the Mechanics' Library Association were added to this collection. In 1865, the organization was reconstituted as the Newburgh Free Library.
