OGDENSBURG - North Country residents looking to reel in their next big catch can now do so with a little help from the Ogdensburg Public Library. Just in time for summer, the library is offering a variety of fishing poles and other equipment available to those who hold an Ogdensburg Public Library card. The equipment, which includes fishing poles, nets, tackle boxes and children’s fishing sets, among other angling necessities, was purchased via funds secured by State Senator Patty Ritchie.
“Gone are the days when libraries were just places where you could check out a good book,” said Senator Patty Ritchie. “Today’s libraries Ogdensburg Public Library included are going above and beyond to offer so much more for their patrons.”

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.
