The Anna M. Reinstein Memorial Library is located on Harlem Road in Cheektowaga, New York, United States. The library is a suburban branch of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system. Along with the Julia Boyer Reinstein Library, this branch is one of the two Cheektowaga Public Libraries.
The library was made possible by a donation given by Victor Reinstein, Anna Mogilova Reinstein's son, to memorialize Anna. Anna migrated to Cheektowaga in 1904 and practiced medicine in the area for more than 40 years. A prominent philanthropic family in the Cheektowaga community, the Reinstein family generously supported the establishment of both of the current Cheektowaga libraries.
Significant library collections include the Reinstein Family Archives. This special collection contains documents that encapsulate the history of the family with focus on the lives of Boris Isaevich Reinstein, Anna Mogilova Reinstein, Honorine Reinstein, Nadina Reinstein Kavinoky, Victor Reinstein, and Julia Boyer Reinstein. Onsite access to The Reinstein Family Archives is by appointment only. Presently there are 102.25 cubic feet of records in the Archives with dates spanning from 1805-1998. Online access to a select set of items from the Archives is made available in partnership with New York Heritage Digital Collections.
