Waterford Library Introduction

Hear about the activities and offerings at Waterford Public Library from Chloe Whittaker, the new Executive Director. Chloe notes that Waterford is the earliest incorporated village in the United States, and is right on the Erie Canal (and the Mohawk River). She invites listeners, especially those in Troy and Cohoes, to stop in to get a free library card. She also explains the library “systems” in the area, and that her library is in the Southern Adirondack Library System (SALS), with a lending agreement with the Mohawk Valley Library System (MVLS). The building is a converted train station originally built in 1895. Despite limited space, they manage to offer programs including a new book club on the 4th Tuesday of each month, plus tech support on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, as well as children’s activities.
