The Hazard Library aims to provide informative services with an enlightening path to bring imagination and knowledge to our community. One way that we want to accomplish this mission is with a larger space. Our current goal to be in a new building adjacent to Opendore in Sherwood is already underway, but we need help from our community to keep going!

Please check out the campaign on PayPal to donate towards our “Open at Opendore” goal of our new Library!

We need your help! Hazard Library is expanding and we are working on a new location adjacent to Opendore in Sherwood. This “Open at Opendore” goal has many phases and financial responsibilities that we are working to accomplish. Construction on Phase 1 is nearing completion however we continue to have many costs that need to be covered. Progress can be viewed at the southern end of the Opendore building at any time however we do ask that you are considerate of the contractors when at work and follow all requests to remain outside the fence for everyone’s safety.

Annual Appeal letters have been sent out to all of those on our mailing lists. If you did not receive one, donations can be made through PayPal on our website.

Please consider providing a donation by clicking on the PayPal logo below or by sending a check to “Hazard Library Association” (PO Box 3, Poplar Ridge, NY 13139).

Our Progress

Phase 1 is almost finished with the completion of the foundation and crawl space adjacent to Opendore.
Our Phase 2 grant has been submitted to NYS and we are awaiting word of its award to begin construction of the outer shell of the library building.
