Pavilion Success AND Our Continued Fundraising Effort
The Pavilion at Hillview
What It Is: In 2024, Hillview constructed a large, open-sided pavilion for the purpose of creating a venue for outdoor programming and
general public use. Situated next to the library are a Town Park/ playground and pickleball court, as well as a Town Beach. It is our hope that the Pavilion can serve as a shaded respite for visitors to these facilities. As well as being a venue for Library music events, art programs, summer yoga classes, storytelling and more. For those desiring a shaded place to rest, read, have lunch or enjoy a conversation, we have picnic tables for use on our lawn, and hand-crafted comfortable Adirondack chairs in the Pavilion! The Pavilion is also available for private rental as your dedicated, day use location for family get-togethers, reunions, celebrations and weddings. Our Director, Margo, is an officiant and can assist in celebration and ceremony planning.
In Short: The Pavilion at Hillview is a community resource that thrives on use!
Where Are We Now: Our next step for the pavilion is to raise funds for the installation of solar panels on the roof. With your support, we can make this happen! Follow the Raffle Button on the top of this page for details on our "Cruising for Community!" Use the QR code to the left. Tickets are also available at the Library. What ever method you use to obtain your raffle tickets, we appreciate your generous support!

The Book Shoppe
We will be officially "cutting the ribbon" on this new addition to our Library campus this summer! Keep an eye on our events page for details!
Our little red book shed has been replaced! Late last year, we received a wonderful donation of a larger, more modern, shed that we are currently turning into a "shoppe". With great book selections & pricing: $1.00 hardcover, Paperbacks 2 for $1.00, and newer title hardcovers are $2.00 each, The Book Shoppe is open during Library Hours of Operation. Visit the shoppe to find your next reading treasure!
​
Trustees and volunteers have been hard at work renovating it's interior for the purpose of housing our used books, not so used books, and Library merchandise. Some of the proceeds from our "Cruising for Community!" fund raiser will go towards the completion of the renovation. Follow the Raffle button on the top of this page for more info.
Donate Books
The library is currently accepting donations of books and DVD's, however we ask that you in your enthusiasm refrain from donating anything damaged, with outdated information, or anything that you yourself wouldn't want to own.
Volunteer
Hillview welcomes our community members who feel the need to go above and beyond by volunteering their time! We ask that you contact one of the staff members if you wish to volunteer within the library itself, or one of the board members if you wish to volunteer services on a larger scale! Thank you for taking the time to think of us.
