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.

Did you know...

The Catskill Creek tributaries that run through Cairo harbor some of the best kept secret spots for brook trout fishing in the northeast.

The Bowery Creek rises east of Windham High Peak in the northern part of the town of Cairo. It flows for 6 miles until it joins the Catskill just west of Freehold.

The Shingle Kill rises west of Blackhead, running through Round Top, and joining up with Trout Brook south of Purling. It continues down through the center of Cairo and meets the Creek downstream from the Woodstock dam.
