COMING SOON to the Watkins Glen Public Library! For our many print-loving patrons, we will begin receiving the weekday The New York Times subscription in PRINT!

INTEREST CHECK!! We've had requests from some of our youngest patrons to start a Cubing Club here at the library. If there is an interest in this, please comment below and help give us an idea of what days/times would work best. The club would likely meet after school or on a Saturday.

If you have any spare cubes lying around collecting dust, consider donating them to the library so we can bulk up our collection!
