Community News and Events

The Library is adding a new feature to our website. We will be highlighting selected community news and events monthly on our website and in our eNewsletter. Any local non-profit, non political organization is welcome to contact us at StoneRidgeLibrary.

The Bevier House, home of the Ulster County Historical Society, will begin it's new season on May 1st at 12 noon with a Civil War theme. The Bevier House is located at 2682 Route 209, Stone Ridge.

Update on 209
Staying In Place:

We've made great progress since our initial announcement last Spring. We've determined our membership fee ($25 per person per year), elected officers (Treasurer, Mary Jones, President, ViVi Hlavsa, Vice President for Finances, Maureen Brivett and Information Officer, Florence Staats). We now have a regular place to meet for Business (the United Methodist Church on Schoonmacher Road), at a regular time (the second Saturday of the month, 12:30 PM), with regular Wednesday morning get-togethers (9:30 AM at Jack and Luna's). We also have a cell-phone number that members can call when they need help (845-706-0182), and we have a list of service providers who offer our group discounts. We're planning to set up more programs for entertainment and education. Please call our List Manager if you want to learn more: 706-0182.
