Book Sale Room Grand Opening and Party — Sat. May 25, 1:30 p.m.

Join us at the library to celebrate the grand opening of the new book sale room
which is looking fabulous thanks to the tireless efforts of our volunteers. There is a wonderful selection of high quality books and vinyl record albums for your shopping pleasure.  You can shop anytime from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and refreshments will be served at 1:30 p.m.
We also have lots of books that did not make it into the new book rooms that we will be selling from Saturday, May 25th through Tuesday, May 28th for $3 a bag.

Hiking Near the Library

There are many hiking opportunities near the library, including the Kenape Brook/Ashokan High Point trail. You can access trail maps, including USGS topographical maps on Ulster County’s REConnect website. Click on Trails and Routes and check the boxes for trail heads and hiking trails and the trails will appear in red.

For those who like to explore the woods without a trail, you can also get a permit to hike in the Ashokan Reservoir property across from the library by applying to the DEP. There is a link to the application here.

Please take safety precautions before heading into the woods. Get hiking safety tips here.
