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).

All meetings are open to the public.
