BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: We are getting a new parking lot!

This is in partnership with the Hurley Heritage Community Center Project next door, and is made possible thanks to a generous grant from the NoVo Foundation. We are so excited to have a new, safer parking lot that can better serve the community. 

This also means that The Hurley Library must close the parking lot & limit capacity from Monday, November 16th- Saturday, November 21st. The work is scheduled for this week, but may extend due to unforeseen circumstances, such as weather. Please stay tuned for more information.

We will still have our book drop out front, and you may utilize the Hurley Reformed Church to park & walk over to the library. During this time there will be no programs hosted at the library, and we will not receive interlibrary loan books from other libraries in the MHLS. If you would like to pick up or order books, please plan accordingly for this closure!

Due to construction at the library, the “Whimsical Woodland Wreath Workshop” has been rescheduled to Monday, November 23rd at 5:00 PM. Please update your registration on the Hurley Library Calendar if you are unable to attend this event,

Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions about this change in schedule, please feel free to contact the library via email or phone: director@hurleylibrary.org or 845-338-2092 ext. 6. 

Tuesday, Nov. 24th 4:00-5:00
