Thank you to all within the Ogdensburg City School District who came out to support our Ogdensburg Public Library! This overwhelming PRO VOTE for our library is due to the Amazing Referendum Team which the board of trustees set in motion. Two of the trustees took up the helm. This team consisted of two main committees, PR & Marketing, and Phone Bank.
The PR & Marketing committee was led by Lin Griffin along with Laura Pearson and Karen Wright. The Phone Bank was led by Tom Lawrence along with Jana Norris, Christine Becker and Paula Jacques. Tom organized a 20-member phone bank with script and a weekend timeline in which to complete the calls.

“Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” Carla Hayden
The library has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I visited the library often to borrow books and participate in library programs. My college work-study assignment was in the college library. After receiving my teaching degree, I became certified as a K-12 library media specialist. This is when I really learned the value of a good library.
