“The Town was poor in everything, but patriotism” Corinth in the Civil War is a free program to be held at the library on Tuesday September 28 at 7pm discussing the role of Corinth and its citizens during the Civil War.  The program features Historian Rachel Clothier of the Corinth Museum and will be an evening of history, photographs and slides.  

This program is made possible by a gift awarded to the library through the We the People Bookshelf national grant project.  The library was one of 4,000 libraries across the country selected to receive a We the People Bookshelf grant, which provided free hardcover editions of 17 classic books on the theme of “A More Perfect Union.” The library also received bonus materials, including a DVD edition of “The Civil War,” the award-winning documentary by Ken Burns. The grant was awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in cooperation with the American Library Association.  Funding for this program was also provided by The Friends of the Corinth Free Library.

We will be closed on September 29, 30 and October 1 for remodeling.  The ceiling and lights on the main floor will be replaced thanks in part to a grant from New York State.  These improvements will help us to be more energy efficient as well as to enhance the looks of the library.  We will make every effort to be open for business as usual on Saturday October 2nd.  Items checked out here will not be due on those days, nor will fines be charged for those days.  We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
