Good Afternoon,
The Ogdensburg Public Library has an exciting lineup planned for July! Each week, special guests from across the North Country will visit to educate, inspire, and entertain participants of all ages.
Summer reading logs will be available beginning July 1, and young readers can earn raffle tickets and prizes throughout the summer as they track their reading. Grand prize winners will be drawn on August 31.
Our popular toddler programs, Music and Movement and Story Time, will continue all summer long. We’re also excited to introduce a new Friday art class designed especially for older children.
