Programs for Teens and Adults

  • Pop-Up Library

    The Pop-Up Library currently serves the Athens location of Home Sweet Home. We bring a curated selection of books and other media, along with any requests made by residents. We're set up to check in/out, request holds, issue library cards, and more, all on the go!

  • Table Top Games

    Our Table Top Games crew meets on Saturdays from 12-2 (and sometimes earlier). Ages 12 through adults are welcome to join. Steve has several challenging games for the group to choose from each week.

  • Robotics

    Students on the Evarts Engineers Robotics Team use engineering design practices to design, build, and program complex robots. Each new challenge drives the team in new ways. Robots are built using state-of-the-art equipment. The team competes in area tournaments throughout the fall and winter months. Youth must be 12-17 years old to participate. Email Coach Kathy at board@drevartslibrary.org for more information.

  • D. R. Evarts Book Club

    Join Host Katherine & company for a lively discussion. Book selections from every genre. Reach out to the library if you are interested in joining: staff@drevartslibrary.org.

  • Mending Circle

    Bring your clothes in need of minor repairs & learn how to fix them yourself! We will learn how to mend, darn, and repair our beloved clothes to extend their livelihood using hand sewing methods. The Mending Circle is a place where we can learn from each other and swap skills while in community.

  • Homebound Delivery Service

    We can provide books and other Library materials to patrons who are unable to come to the Library, whether on a temporary or a permanent basis. View our Homebound Delivery Service Policy or reach out to staff@drevartslibrary.org for more information.

  • Seed Library

    Thanks to Ms. Pacuk’s 2022-2023 3rd grade class we have a fantastic seed library with no library card needed for use. Seed Library Policies

    Borrowing Seeds:

    We ask that you only take what you'll use so that we will have enough seeds for everyone.

    Ask about baggies and markers to house and label your seeds.

  • Technology at the Library

    Use a laptop at the library to help stay connected. Call (518) 945-1417 or email for more info or to reserve. You can also print, scan, copy, and fax at the library.

  • Library of Things

    From games to a sewing machine to a live animal trap and everything in between, we’ve got an eclectic mix of items for you to borrow in our extensive Library of Things. Borrow items just as you would a book or DVD. Inquire at the circulation desk for more information.

  • 3D Printer

    The Library acquired a Sovol SV06 3D printer which we’ve been learning to use. Our goal is to offer workshops to make the printer available for patron use during library hours. Stay tuned!

  • Drone Academy

    Through the generosity of Central Hudson, the Library acquired several educational drones. These drones are only for indoor use with no cameras. During drone workshops, participants learn to fly, maneuver and program drones. Contact the Library for the next Drone Academy class.
