Our History

Located in the Village of Marcellus beside the Upper Crown Mill Development at the corner of Orange and Maple Streets, our eco-friendly library has a collection of approximately 30,000 items, including a unique collection of choral music, for loan; a fax machine; eight public use Internet computers; five tablets and five laptops for public use; a color printer; a color photocopier; two tutoring rooms; and a self-service coffee/hot cocoa bar. Upstairs we are proud to offer the "Friends" Community Room which is available free of charge to non-profit groups in the community. Our children's area is warm and inviting.
