Bakers: We're inviting guest bakers from the community to bake cakes for the library with a First Day of Spring theme! Do you have a great idea for a cake and want to help the library with this spring celebration? Call 758-6192 if you're interested in contributing a cake or for more information. Bakers should bring their cakes to the library before 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 20.

Library supporters all over the state are telling the NYS Legislature to reject the $2.4 million cut in Library Aid Governor David Paterson is proposing in the 2010-2011 Executive Budget.

This will be the fifth cut in less than two years and will bring statewide Library Aid down from $102 million in 2007 to $84.5 million in 2010. These cuts combined total an $18 million or 18% reduction in funding for library services. Libraries are part of the community safety net—they are essential to life-long learning, jobs and opportunity, quality of life and community empowerment.

If you agree, do your part and take action!

How It Works

We're pleased to announce that we now have a mobile version of our website! Just access the library's webpage from your phone at http://kinderhooklibrary.org and you will automatically be redirected to a mobile version of the site at http//m.kinderhooklibrary.org.  The site is a pared-down version of our full site but still lists upcoming events, our hours, a link to our catalog and more.

Coming soon will be a mobile version of the catalog, too!

The Kinderhook Memorial Library will be closed today due to the weather expected this afternoon and evening.  If you have items that are due today, you may bring them in tomorrow and we will backdate their return so you are not charged overdue fines.
