CANANDAIGUA – The COVID-19 pandemic forced most everyone to make on-the-job adjustments, and school librarians were no different.
At the Canandaigua Primary-Elementary School, a large collection of titles that kids know and love were loaded up on carts and brought to the outside of classrooms to serve as pop-up libraries, where students could still check out books while safely following pandemic restrictions on the number of people in a classroom.
As Teresa Keyes put it: “We actually had to take the library to the students.”
“I have massive arm muscles now from hauling carts through the primary building,” said Keyes, who is primary-teacher librarian at the school and an All Star.

Itâs hard to imagine Ogdensburg without its historic library at 312 Washington St. However, if a referendum attached to the school budget vote fails then it may result in the libraryâs eventual closure.
This comes after the city of Ogdensburg has told the libraryâs Board of Trustees that it will no longer fund it in the future, that this year would be its last year of financial support. The cityâs contributions to the library have dwindled over the years due to its own financial hardships. In 2018, the amount was $453,625. This current fiscal year it was dropped to $162,000. In 2022, there will be nothing.
