Foundation.

A kid-sized table & chairs

The Reference Desk &
Check Out are at a desk

The librarian provided local history books for me to look through as I searched for information on Ticonderoga's historic buildings.

Section




Books on CD




This library has a Desktop
Low Vision Reader.

I'm happy to see this service
for Low Vision users.





The library had extra visitors on Saturday during the Captain James T. Kirk, AKA William Shatner Visit.  Some came in to charge their phones. Others came to the library to use the
free Wifi.  Still other Star Trek fans came to sit quietly and recharge their "batteries" during
a very busy day.
