Henrietta Public Library

We welcomed fall with a strong September here at the library. Be sure to check out our website for all the exciting events we have planned for October!

Our fall used book sale starts this Thursday! Stop by the Community Room to purchase a gently used book, DVD, or puzzle. There will be items for all ages (children, teens, adults).

Thu, October 8th, 1 - 8:30pm
Fri, October 9th, 9am - 4:30pm
Sat, October 10th, 10am - 3:30pm (Bag Day)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and UR Medicine’s Mobile Mammography Van is parked outside HPL today from 9am-3pm and taking walk-in appointments! It’s an opportunity for those who haven’t received a mammogram within the last year to receive a screening.

There's little more than 24 hours left to cast your vote for HPL in CITY Magazine's annual Best of Rochester readers' poll! The first stage of the poll is dictated by write-in votes, and we'd be thrilled if you selected the Henrietta Public Library in the Best Library category. You can cast your vote for Best Library in the Shopping and Services section of the poll at the link below or on our homepage at HPL.org. Thanks for considering HPL in 2026!

Share what makes Henrietta special to you with the whole town!

The Town of Henrietta is accepting art submissions from all ages to be considered for use on the Town's website (henriettany.gov). The judging panel will be looking for a variety of perspectives to showcase the multitude of things Henrietta means to different people.

Deadline: November 20, 2026
Open to all ages
The art you submit can be a photograph, painting, illustration, collage, sculpture - the sky's the limit! - but the submission must be done electronically, so you may need to scan or photograph your creation.
The winning image will be used as the main image on the front page of the Town's website (www.henriettany.gov), so you'll want the image to be landscape orientation with minimum dimensions of 1920 x 890 pixels. The focal point should be in the middle of the photograph as the edges will be obscured/cropped as screen sizes get smaller.
