Louise Adelia Read Memorial Library

I love this library! One of my favorites of all time! The librarian is awesome and super helpful and i love the new printers! Such a great place for our community!

It's a small and nice library. The librarian is very friendly and helpful. The restroom was clean and spacious. Kids' books were all in excellent shape. It might be more fun to have a few building toys around the kids' area.

The library is the best place in Hancock,NY to spend your hot summer days if you intend on spending it in side. Every where else pretty much sucks. Wait there is no place else. But don't let that take away from the library. Staff is great! A more modern set if rules. There's no problem with having conversions. As long as its not a shouting match, but done in a respectful tone and volume no one complains. In fact mostly all the patrons and staff have conversions regularly. Its actually an enjoyable atmosphere nice to see the library rolling with the changes of modern society not stuck in the "Shhh be quiet" libraries of my youth. Personally I think you retain more if there are some detracting circumstances around you makes you concentrate on what you are reading or researching more to avoid

Beautiful library with helpful librarians. They have internet access, computers, fax, copy, and color printing. They are always happy to meet new people. With your library card you can use the Hoopla app to borrow audio and ebooks. You can reserve a book and it will be delivered to the library in a few business days.

Great little town library
