The Pop-Up Library currently serves two locations: the Rivertown Senior Apartments and the Athens location of Home Sweet Home. We bring a curated selection of books and other media, along with any requests made by the residents. We're set up to check in/out, request holds, issue library cards, and more, all on the go!

The library offers free day passes to Olana State Historic Site, Thomas Cole National Historic Site, and FASNY Museum of Firefighting to Athens residents. Click here for more info on the individual benefits or inquire at the circulation desk.

The students on the Evarts Engineers Robotics Team use engineering design practices to design, build, and program robots. They compete in area tournaments, completing complex challenges using state-of-the-art equipment. Children must be 12-17 years old to participate. We're always looking to expand our team: email Coach Kathy at board@drevartslibrary.org for more information.

Join Host Katherine Montague & company for a lively discussion. Reach out to the library if you are interested in joining: staff@drevartslibrary.org.

Bring your clothes in need of minor repairs & learn how to fix them yourself! We will learn how to mend, darn, and repair our beloved clothes to extend their livelihood using hand sewing methods. The Mending Circle is a place where we can learn from each other and swap skills while in community.

We can provide books and other Library materials to patrons who are unable to come to the Library, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis. View our Homebound Delivery Service Policy or reach out to staff@drevartslibrary.org for more information.
