Port Jervis
Free Library
Although the library's charter pre-dates the building itself, the
cornerstone for the Port Jervis Free Library was installed in 1902. Today, the Port
Jervis Free Library remains as one of the few Carnegie libraries in the United States
which continues to fulfill its original purpose.
Among the library areas are:
A periodical and reference room with microfiche machines and public
access Internet computers
Reference desk and public use photocopy machines
Fiction and non-fiction rooms
Separate children's section on the 2nd floor
Public meeting and local history rooms
Bulletin boards for civil service job openings and area events
The Port Jervis Free Library is also an archive repository for the Minisink Valley Historical Society which is open every
Thursday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Because of its association with the Ramapo Catskill Library
System,
the Port Jervis Free Library is able to acquire books for its members from libraries
throughout the region. To check on the availability and location of
