A monthly Adult reading group, which meets the first and third Friday of each month at 1:00 PM. This is an eclectic group of readers who meet to discuss the wide variety of books they have recently read.
There is no required reading!

Did you know that we offer a Homebound Service?

What is the Homebound Program? The Program provides delivery of library materials free of charge to participating residents of the Cobleskill-Richmondville School District, our chartered area of service, who are physically unable to visit The Community Library.

Who qualifies as a participant? Anyone can sign up to participate, regardless of age, who is permanently or temporarily physically disabled and cannot come to the library to borrow library material.

How does one sign up? One needs to fill out the patron registration form to obtain a library card which will be kept at the library, including a statement certifying that they cannot physically come to the library, and a preference form indicating favorite authors, or types of boooks or library material they would like to borrow to help in selection.

Writer's Group:

Come meet with other authors and writers for ideas, critiques and exercises. All levels of writing experience are encouraged to attend!
The group meets on Tuesday nights from 6-8 pm, please call for the next date.

Did you know that most computers have settings that can help you see more clearly or even read text out loud for you? Many people could benefit from these settings, whether you’ve lost your glasses, are experiencing some vision loss, or people with visual disabilities. The Community Library also has specialized software that allows people who are legally blind to use the computer for writing documents, listening to audio recordings and some use of the internet. If you’d like to know more, don’t hesitate to ask at The Community Library!
