Rochester Girl Scout Library System
The Rochester Girl Scout Library system offers materials to help Girl Scout adults provide programs for and with girls, directly or indirectly. The main library facility is located at the Rochester Service Center in Henrietta. A smaller library is available at the Batavia Service Center.
The Rochester Service Center Library is open during regular business hours. Volunteers are on staff to assist you on most Tuesdays, September through May. Please call (585) 292-5160 to check for the hours. Both libraries may be used by Girl Scout adults, girl members when accompanied by an adult and non-Girl Scout adults. Group visits may be arranged.
The Girl Scout Libraries depend on an honor system for success. Directions on how to find items and detailed borrowing procedures are posted in each facility. Both browsing and borrowing are self-serve. Most items may be borrowed for three weeks. Materials may be renewed for an additional term. High-demand items are limited to one week.
Materials – books and pamphlets, audiocassettes, kits and games – are usually shelved alphabetically by title, and are grouped in the following areas. If you click on any of the groups below you can view an up-to-date inventory list of the books and media available at the library:
