Book Sale

The Library holds a "never-ending" book sale in the library lobby which is open during regular library hours. Books may be purchased individually for .25 for hardcovers and .10 for paperbacks or by the bag for $2.00. Selected items which are priced accordingly can also be purchased from a cart at the library entrance. Items purchased from the book sale are non-returnable.

Email Reference : Reference service is now available via E-mail from the Waterford Public Library. A Reference librarian will answer your questions and/or refer you to other online, print, or agency resources. You may also call the library directly at 518-237-0891 to request Reference assistance during normal business hours.

Interlibrary Loan : The Waterford Public Library considers facilitating the sharing of library resources an important part of its mission. Materials that are not owned by the library may be available from another library within our system or another nearby system. Patrons looking for materials should first search our catalog. Interlibrary Loan requests can be made directly from the catalog by clicking Place Request. The password is by default the last four digits of the home phone number. If the material in question is unavailable through the catalog, please contact the library at 518-237-0891 for further assistance.
