Idler Books is a woman-owned and operated independent bookstore in the hamlet of Palenville, NY, nestled in the Kaaterskill Clove.
We offer new books and a curated selection of used books, for all ages—with new releases available weekly!
Conveniently located where Routes 23 and 32A meet just 15 minutes from both downtown Saugerties and downtown Catskill. Visitors can stop by on the way to Hunter Mountain and Kaaterskill Falls.
We encourage and support idling with a book. Stop in and enjoy a comfy chair and a book.
