The weather is getting nice so our playground is getting a lot more visitors! We could really use some extra outdoor toys and equipment. Any donations would be greatly appreciated!

We were pleased to hear the budget for Hammondsport Central School District was passed and that our friend Liz Ryder is now a member of the school board! Unfortunately, we were disappointed that our library referendum did not pass.

We appreciate everyone that showed us so much support. We thank the patrons that shared their positive thoughts about what we actually do in this community.
We applaud the people that called, stopped in the library, or contacted our trustees to get the correct information on what we were doing.
We are excited by the new collaborative relationship we have built with the Director and Trustees of the Fred & Harriett Taylor Memorial Library.

We are able to lessen our disappointment at the results by knowing we did our best and were part of a fair election where everyone’s voice was heard. Our motivation was, as it’s always been, to offer as much as we can to our community , and that is not going to change.

For the 3rd year in a row, we welcomed Ms. Buckley’s Pre-K class from Hammondsport Central School District ! The children loved playing on the playground, then came in for lunch (and to cool off!) They enjoyed the toys, puppets and checking out our new aquarium! 🐟
The field trip ended with a walk over
to Y Knot Country Store and Eatery for ice cream !🍦

Last week about 45 of our friends and neighbors joined us for a pasta dinner! It was a fun night where kids got to play with the many toys we have and the adults had a night off from cooking dinner. It was a chance to visit and we were able to meet some people that have recently moved to our community. Our library is more than just books!
