"The “Growing Place” is the perfect name for the New Woodstock Free Library. Chartered on June 16, 1939 by New York State, the library has been in continuous community service. As the community grew, so did the library...The library’s first home was the New Woodstock high school ... The library was given permission to use a room on the first floor of the school if the library was made available to students too... Tim King, president of the church’s board of trustees stated, “It doesn’t make sense to maintain 2 buildings.”...The new “Growing Place” was dedicated on October 4, 1996 "
