Aquabrowser - A New Way to Search

We'd like to present Aquabrowser, a comprehensive catalog that searches books, articles, databases, and more at one time! It also has some neat social features allowing you to tag, review, rate, and list books. Click here to try out Aquabrowser! If you prefer the older catalog, there's always a button at the top to bring you back.

Make YOur LIbrary Dollars Count - Visit a Museum!

Staying close to home this summer? Take the family into the city on an expedition to the American Museum of Natural History, or stroll through the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The library has passes available for loan to HKDPL cardholders for both of these destinations. Or you could journey up the river to the Hudson Valley Children's Museum.

Passes are available on a first-come casis, and may not be reserved. They can be checked out for three days and may even offer you discounts in the museum shops! Who could as for a better deal? It's just one more reason why, especially now, your library card is the smartest card in yhour wallet.

HKDPL Adult Summer Reading Program

We are kicking off our Adult Summer Reading Program with an Ice Cream Social on Wednesday, June 17, from 5 - 8 pm. Registration is easy and open to HKDPL cardholders ages 18 and over. Simply go online to www.hkdpl.org and select the "Indulge Your Mind" link. Registration forms will also be available at the kick-off and at the Reference Desk throughout the program. If you signed up last year, you may keep last year's registration information - just tell us - otherwise, you will need to select a user name.

Reporting on the books you've read or listened to starts Friday, June 26th, and may be done online or at the Adult Services Reference Desk (both buildings). Prize winners will be chosen at random during the course of the program. We will end the program with a picnic (date and time to be announced).
