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’s central location in the county made it an ideal place for an airfield. With the return of American pilots from WWI, residents and visitors were treated to exciting rides with spectacular mountain and river vistas.

Former members of Eddie Rickenbacher’s Hat-in-Ring squadron, not only barnstormed up and down the valley, but flew mail and supplies into the mountain towns and remote areas of the Catskill Park.
