In 2023, the library had 5,564 visitors! We maintained a collection of 11,912 print materials and 557 other materials which included audio, video, snowshoes and laptop computers. More than 30,000 electronic materials were also available. The library had 47 programs for the public, including summer reading, preschool story hour, zoo mobile, game days, birding presentation, Reminiscing with Remsen, Clinton Death Café, Lyme Disease and Herbalism, Irish dancers, spring bunny painting, fall pumpkin painting, basket weaving, yoga, Holiday Read, and Rural Sketching art classes. The library hosts the Remsen Community Garden and the Remsen BB Gun Club. The Snow Country Quilters have a beautiful seasonal quilt display. The library employs one library director and two circulation clerks. We look forward to continuing to offer the community a variety of services and, as always, we thank you for your support!
