Like many other cities in New York State, Ogdensburg has been faced with the loss of many goods and resources once taken for granted. Many of the services once provided are no longer available.
One of the remaining city institutions that has continued to provide exceptional service to the public is the Ogdensburg Public Library. For over 100 years, the library has continued to provide information, education and entertainment for citizens of all ages.
Some of these amenities include: books, magazines, newspapers, COs, DVDs, children s programs, adult programs, genealogy research, book sales, meeting rooms, computer center and reference books.

OGDENSBURG – Ogdensburg City Councilor Steve Fisher has apologized for a Facebook post that insulted Ogdensburg Public Library Director Penny Kerfien.
Kerfien said she was shocked by the social media screenshot of a message that referred to her as “being bitchy,” and was posted on the Friends of the Ogdensburg Library Facebook Page on a post that called on the public to vote on an upcoming referendum.
Fisher confirmed that he made the post, but he says it was never intended to be public and was part of a private conversation. And while he deleted it within minutes of the upload, a screenshot was widely shared over social media over the weekend.
