New York State Senator Michael H. Ranzenhofer has secured $60,000 in state funding for public libraries throughout the Town of Amherst.  

“Our local libraries enrich our communities with invaluable services, and this critical funding will assist the four branches of the Amherst Public Library with providing more programming to their patrons. As your State Senator, I am proud to be a strong supporter of Amherst Libraries,” said Ranzenhofer.

The total funding will be distributed to each of the four branches in Amherst:
• Main Library at Audubon, $15,000;
• Clearfield Branch, $15,000;
• Eggertsville-Snyder Branch; $15,000; and
