The Claverack Free Library is a community hub dedicated to fostering intellectual, cultural, and social engagement through literacy and independent thinking. Its mission is to provide resources that encourage critical readers and thinkers, connecting the community with each other and the world. The library offers a wide range of materials and services, including a dedicated History Room with local archives, and participates in programs like museum pass requests and summer reading challenges. The Friends of the Claverack Free Library, a volunteer group, actively supports the library through fundraising, programming, and advocacy, contributing to popular events like book sales and food truck Wednesdays.
