We have a good selection of children's books but also have something in almost every subject, fiction and non-fiction. There is also a barn full of books, most of which are $2.00 and under, for browsing in the summertime only. We have picnic tables out under the apple trees in the summer, if you bring your lunch you are welcome to use them. You can contact us at 518-392-5209 or librarium@fairpoint.net.
