Little Free Library available at LHS
There is now a Little Free Library at Liberty High School.
Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Liberty High School Interact Club, the Little Free Library is now available for students, staff, and community members to enjoy.
All are invited to borrow a book, donate a gently used book, exchange books with others and discover new stories and authors
The Little Free Library is part of a worldwide movement that promotes literacy, kindness and community connections through the simple act of sharing books.

Students help preserve local history at Walnut Mountain
Throughout the spring, students at Liberty Middle School have been learning about the rich history of Walnut Mountain during Flex Period. As part of this educational experience, students explored the story of the historic Walnut Mountain House, a five-story mountain hotel built in 1887 at the summit of Walnut Mountain. The hotel welcomed visitors from near and far, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Catskill region. Although the hotel no longer stands, its foundation remains as an important reminder of Liberty’s past.
Taking their learning beyond the classroom, Liberty Middle School hosted a community service project on Sunday, May 31. Students, staff, families, and community members came together to help clear and improve the trail surrounding the original Walnut Mountain House foundation.
The project was a success, with 34 volunteers participating in the cleanup effort. Volunteers worked to remove brush, clear debris, and create a safe, walkable path around the historic site. Their hard work will allow visitors to better experience and appreciate this important piece of local history.
The project is part of the ongoing Walnut Mountain House History Trail initiative, which will officially celebrate its grand opening on June 6. The self-guided trail features six interpretive panels that share the history of Walnut Mountain, the Walnut Mountain House, and the people who helped shape Liberty’s heritage.
Liberty Middle School students have also played an important role in the project through the Interact Club. Club members designed and built benches that will be placed along the trail, providing visitors with opportunities to rest and enjoy the scenic views that have attracted visitors to Walnut Mountain for generations.
This project highlights the power of community partnerships and hands-on learning. By helping preserve a local landmark, students gained a deeper appreciation for Liberty’s history while making a lasting contribution that will benefit residents and visitors for years to come.
