Village Library of Cooperstown

You’ve seen Leon on today’s hit TV shows America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us! (he FOOLED them), and Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon. His high energy, family friendly show leaves audiences speechless! Now is your chance to witness Leon’s original creations, award-winning sleight-of-hand, and the best jaw dropping illusions in the world live. Join us August 19, 6:00pm at Lakefront Park to see his show! [this program is sponsored in part by the Friends of the Village Library]

Kindergartners and families: please join us for ‘lemonade on the lawn’ to celebrate the start of the school year AND get your very first library card. [if you can come in ahead to fill out the form, we’ll have your card ready for you!]

Based on guidance from the CDC and the Otsego County of Health, effective tomorrow (5 August 2021) the Village Library of Cooperstown will require masks for ALL patrons. We appreciate your compliance with the mask rule as we work to help stop the spread.

We hope to see you join us at one of these events. Just a reminder: our Facebook page is our more active, up-to-date location for resources and news.
