Hendrick Hudson Free Library
The Hendrick Hudson Free Library moved from the Kavana Building in 1977 when the Cortlandt Engine Company firehouse on Albany Post Road was purchased and converted into a community library. After serving the community well for nearly 20 years, the building and number of parking spaces available became inadequate to provide for the needs of the growing community. In 1993 the property on Kings Ferry Road was purchased. This two and a half acre site was originally the location of the Kennedy House, built in the early 1700's and destroyed by fire in 1979. In July, 1997, the new Library building was opened with 15,900 square feet of space and a 67 car parking area. The new building is air conditioned, accessible for disabled persons, allows for flexible use of space, has study and meeting areas and is wired for technological needs.
With the completion of an expansion project in April 2002, an additional 900 sq. ft. was added to the Children's Room. The 2nd floor unoccupied space was renovated into a Community room for programming and art exhibits. The previous community room was reconfigured into a study room and a patron lounge/seminar room. Additional technology was added to the Public Computer Room and the Children's Room.
