The Potsdam Public Library is a wonderful, beautiful, and spacious community center and a true local gem. It is much more than just books, offering an eclectic array of free programming for everyone at every age. Events and classes include fiddle jams, author presentations, LEGO workshops, Library Babies, an Artist Guild, and community events. The atmosphere is peaceful, clean, welcoming, and conducive to study and learning. The staff are super friendly, helpful, and ready to assist.
The well-lit space has ample tables for private work, a children’s area with toys, and private meeting rooms that can be checked out. There are laptops to use, terrific WiFi, and an extensive selection of books and movies. They even loan items like snowshoes. The library is very in tune with community interests, featuring displays on local authors and topics. It is a great space with a reservable classroom upstairs and offers the bonus of being open on Sundays. It is a true resource for the community.
What a beautiful welcoming space! Love the layout of the different sections. Great collection of books and materials. Lots of interesting programs. The meeting room upstairs is wonderful!
