CROTON TOWNSHIP LIBRARY

The Library opened May 1, 2009 in the southeast half of the former Fire Barn building, and is a member of the Lakeland Cooperative, going fully operational on October 6.  Our Director is Ashley Hawley, who was previously a Library Assistant at the Sparta Library; the Assistant Director is Johna Thatcher.  The new build-out renovation to the building is now complete, & was opened to the public on April 21, 2010.  This enlargement nearly doubles the Library’s original size.  The Phase II project can be built as soon as sufficient funding is available, will provide for a new Community Center containing an enlarged Library, community room, facilities, and the Croton Postal Unit.  We have received very generous donations for the Library in the form of books, CDs, DVDs, VCR tapes, audio books, magazines, etc.  These tax deductible donations may continue to be made at the Library.   We are very grateful for having received over 8,000 donated items in our first year.  In addition, if you would like to work as a volunteer at the Library, please contact the Library Director or Assistant Director.
