About the Cairo Public Library

The New Cairo Public Library opened on July 16, 2012. It is a totally made in America project!

The Cairo Public Library was founded in 1963 and has the special feature of a weekly children’s story hour.

The function of the Cairo Public Library is to provide the Cairo community with access to a balanced collection of books and other materials to serve their educational, cultural, and recreational needs.

The Board of Trustees meet the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 3:30 pm in the Community Room of the New Library.

Get your library card

The library card is one of the most important school supplies. Libraries are an essential service for the nation’s children. Libraries bridge the digital divide by providing a full range of information and services to children and adult learners. Libraries offer free access to important educational resources such as online homework resources, access to online databases, and e-books. Libraries continue to find ways to bring value to their communities. A library card is one of the “smartest cards” you can possess.

Cairo was home to some of the first Ski Slopes in Greene County, pre-dating the mountain runs of Hunter & Windham.   Rope tows provided skiers with a ride to the highest points, and the downhill trails were significantly less challenging than those today. These somewhat humble facilities were set up to provide outdoor activities that would draw guests to Boarding Houses in winter months. Their popularity validated and inspired the development of the modern Ski Resorts in the Great Northern Catskill Mountains.
