Centrally located in Garnerville, the Haverstraw Kings Daughters Public Library stands as a beacon of community engagement and informational resources at 10 West Ramapo Road. This vital institution, situated just east of the intersection with Benson Street, serves not only the immediate residents of Garnerville but also those in neighboring hamlets such as Thiells, Tomkins Cove, and portions of West Haverstraw. Its strategic position along West Ramapo Road (County Route 202), a primary artery connecting local communities to major routes like Route 9W, ensures accessibility for a broad demographic, including families, students from the North Rockland Central School District, local professionals, and senior citizens residing in the nearby apartment complexes and residential areas like the Garnerville Arts & Industrial Complex vicinity. The library’s history is deeply interwoven with the fabric of the community. Established in 1958, it was born from the philanthropic efforts of the Kings Daughters, a testament to a long-standing commitment to education and community welfare in Rockland County. This rich heritage continues to define its mission, extending far beyond traditional book lending to encompass a wide array of services, including its crucial role as a designated passport acceptance facility. The architectural style blends functional mid-century design with modern updates, reflecting its continuous evolution to meet contemporary needs while honoring its past. Inside, patrons will find dedicated spaces for children’s learning, quiet reading zones, public access computers, and a community room frequently utilized for local events and workshops. The library’s impact extends to supporting literacy programs for all ages, offering job search assistance, and hosting cultural events that reflect the diverse tapestry of the Garnerville community. On any given weekday morning, one might observe local parents bringing their young children for story time, high school students utilizing the quiet study areas, or retirees engaging in book club discussions. The library actively participates in the Rockland County library system, providing seamless access to a broader collection of resources and interlibrary loan services. This cooperative spirit underscores its commitment to comprehensive public service. A mere three blocks west on West Ramapo Road, the iconic Garnerville Arts & Industrial Complex, a former textile mill reimagined as a thriving hub for artists, small businesses, and community events, acts as a significant local landmark, drawing visitors and residents alike. Just across from the library, on the south side of West Ramapo Road, one finds a local hardware store, a practical neighborhood staple, while a short walk east on the same road leads to the well-trafficked intersection with Route 9W, marked by a Shell gas station and a small retail strip, making the library a convenient stop for many daily errands. The choice of the Haverstraw Kings Daughters Public Library as a passport acceptance facility was a deliberate decision to enhance public access to essential government services in an easily reachable, trusted community setting. This service is particularly valued by the transient professional population, families planning international travel, and new citizens requiring their first U.S. passport, all of whom seek efficient, localized assistance. The staff, known for their approachable demeanor and detailed knowledge, guide applicants through the often-complex process with a level of personalized attention rarely found elsewhere. The library consistently updates its resources, ensuring access to the latest forms, requirements, and processing timelines directly from the Department of State. This dedication positions the Haverstraw Kings Daughters Public Library as an indispensable resource, embodying the true spirit of community service for Garnerville and its surrounding areas.

Located at HAVERSTRAW KINGS DAUGHTERS PUBLIC LIBRARY at 10 WEST RAMAPO ROAD. Easy access from major highways.
Ample parking is available directly at the Haverstraw Kings Daughters Public Library, offering convenience for your passport appointment. A dedicated, free 25-space parking lot is situated immediately adjacent to the library building on its western side, accessible directly from West Ramapo Road. This lot provides direct, level access to the main entrance, minimizing walking distance. For peak times, or if the primary lot is full, supplementary street parking can often be found along Benson Street, which intersects West Ramapo Road just one block west of the library. While not metered, these spots are limited and can be competitive during school pick-up hours. It’s advisable to aim for an appointment during off-peak library hours, such as mid-morning (10:00 AM – 12:00 PM) or late afternoon (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM), to secure the most favorable parking spot. During the winter months, especially after snowfall, be mindful of potential ice accumulation in the parking lot and on sidewalks; the library staff generally ensures prompt clearing. In the warmer seasons, the on-site lot offers shaded spots provided by mature trees, which can be a welcome relief during summer heat, ensuring your vehicle remains cooler while you complete your application. Planning an extra 5-7 minutes for parking and walking will ensure a stress-free start to your visit.
Reaching the Haverstraw Kings Daughters Public Library via public transit is straightforward, primarily utilizing the Transport of Rockland (TOR) bus system. TOR Bus Route #91 (serving Haverstraw, Garnerville, and Spring Valley) and TOR Bus Route #97 (connecting Haverstraw to Pomona and Stony Point) both offer convenient access. The nearest bus stop is located directly on West Ramapo Road, approximately 100 feet east of the library’s main entrance, just past Benson Street. Buses on these routes typically operate every 30-45 minutes on weekdays and hourly on Saturdays, with reduced service on Sundays. A single ride on the TOR system costs $2.00, with reduced fares available for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Day passes are not typically offered for single routes, but transfers within the TOR system are usually free within a two-hour window. Upon exiting the bus, a short, level walk of less than 0.1 miles west along West Ramapo Road will bring you directly to the library entrance. Both TOR Route #91 and #97 buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps and priority seating, ensuring full accessibility for all passengers. Real-time bus tracking information is also available through the Rockland County public transit website or common transit apps, allowing you to accurately plan your arrival and minimize wait times at the stop.
