MASSENA â The Massena Public Library was hoping for $1,000 in donations on Library Giving Day, and the community responded well over that goal.
Director Elaine Dunne said that, as of Thursday, they had received $6,716 in donations, and they were still coming in.
âWe did amazing. We were just so taken aback by the generosity of our patrons,â she said.
Although Library Giving Day was officially last week as part of National Library Week, itâs still running strong, and thatâs a plus for library patrons, she said.
âWe decided to make it only about buying books for the library. Every dollar goes right back into our collection,â Ms. Dunne said.

April 7 was designated as Library Giving Day, which is a day set aside to recognize the contribution a library makes to its community.
More than $21,000 was raised for the Berryville Library. The Craig and Michele Froman family of Berryville issued a challenge to match the first $5,000 donated to the library in recognition of Library Giving Day 2021. Their challenge was announced at the librarys recent press conference where the plans to raise needed funds to construct a new library by 2025 or earlier were announced along with a $500,000 gift from the estate of a prominent local family, who were lifelong supporters of the library.

Otis Library has been open by appointment only since July, and it doesn’t appear things will change anytime soon. “That model has been working very well. The public has adapted,” said library Director Robert Farwell.
Farwell says recent relaxations of restrictions on library operations in Connecticut won’t change things right now at Otis. “We’re going to continue to rely on this (appointment) model, and proceed very carefully, cautiously, with opening on any broader basis.”
Activities such as large group meetings, and one-on-one teaching sessions remain suspended.
Twice-a-year annual book sales, a major fundraiser for the library, have also been temporarily halted, which makes a recent restaurant collaboration welcome.
