What's Special About the Audubon Library

The Amherst Main Library at Audubon opened in 1987 within the Audubon New Community in Amherst, and has become B&ECPL's largest and busiest community library, home to among the most diverse populations in Erie County. A 6500 square foot renovation was completed in March 2023, which created a new children’s area focused on early literacy, additional study rooms, a Maker Space, extra bathrooms and an expanded community room.

We host a wide variety of vibrant programs, and provide a safe, relaxing place to, read magazines & newspapers or surf the web.

Audubon is also the home of the Western New York Seed Library:
