The library hosted a year-long series of ambitious programs called “Living on the Edge.” The logo and tagline, Life…in the foothills…on the banks of the Hudson…on the verge of the forest…near the turning point of history…set the theme for library programs in 2008. The programs highlighted the advantages of living in Corinth. Funding for the project came from a variety of resources, including Senator Farley, Library Services and Technology Act funds, SALS and the Friends of the Corinth Library. The programs included an art instruction workshop for children, an adult historical program, intergenerational concerts, a ventriloquist, a living history program, and a program on landscape archaeology. Due to the success of “Living on the Edge,” the library will continue to provide year long theme based quality programs for all the residents of the community.
