With a new school year started I wanted to remind everyone of the services we provide for our school age patrons!
We welcome students to come to the library after school to study, socialize, have club meetings and of course read. Home school groups are also welcome to use our space and resources to learn. We have computers available for homework, research and videogames. Our staff is always happy to help students find the resources they need and the right books and movies to take home and enjoy for fun.
The library will be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of reopening after the fire of 1921. Library services in Ogdensburg started in 1828 and moved to its current location in 1895. A remodel between 1921-1922 resulted in the fire that destroyed most of the library interior. We are looking for cards, art or anything else children want to make to appreciate the library. We will display these items at our anniversary party during National Friends of the Library Week in October. If you are interested in sending us a birthday card, please drop it of at the library or mail it to;
