Welcome to Hazard Library!

Story Hour will resume this coming week on Tues, Jan 7th at 9:30 AM. We meet each Tuesday that SCCS is in session. It is free and open to all preschool children who have not yet entered kindergarten and their caregivers. Babies are always welcome. There is no pre-registration and you can start attending at any time.


Check out what we have added to our shelves throughout the past 6 months!


We need your help! Hazard Library is expanding and we are working on a new location adjacent to Opendore in Sherwood. This “Open at Opendore” goal has many phases and financial responsibilities that we are working to accomplish.

Please check out more information on this goal and consider providing a donation through the button below or by sending a check to “Hazard Library Association” (PO Box 3, Poplar Ridge, NY 13139).


Our Library Board meets once a month on the second Monday of the month at 6:30PM at Opendore (2978 State Route 34B).
All meetings are open to the public.

Last Meeting: December 9, 2024

Next Meeting: January 13, 2025

The minutes of our prior meetings can be found here.

We are no longer accepting donations of books for our yearly book sale. The bins are hibernating from January to March due to the winter season. They will be open again in April to accept books for our summer sale. We ask that you hold onto them until then and please DO NOT leave books on the library porch.


Meets the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM. We will be meeting at Aurora Free Library starting January 2025.

PLEASE NOTE: January 2025 Book Club Meeting is scheduled for January 8, 2025 (as the first Wednesday is New Years’ Day)!

Please e-mail us at librarian@hazardlibrary.org for information on how to join us. All are invited and new members are always welcome.

The new list will be posted when it is finalized.
