Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Library, we have new lights in the Reading Rooms. The new lights make the room much brighter and more inviting. The lights also highlight the beauty of the ceiling and murals which were difficult to see with the older lights. Thank you Friends!

Hello all! Thanks to a generous grant from the North Country Library System, we were able to purchase some much-needed toys for our Children's Room! New toys include a mail box for letter writing, a magnetic board for learning about gears (which take it from me - those little things are addicting to play with!), and an awesome market play set. Our goal is to help library parents engage with their children in a way that supports early reading skills. Stop by and see our new selections soon!

Congratulations to all of our Battle of the Books 2017 participants! Your hard work continues to astound us, and we were so impressed with the sportsmanship displayed by the students involved this year. It doesn't go unnoticed!

Alright, now for our winners (drum roll please!):

Drawing inspiration from our location in the heart of Watertown's Downtown, our 2015-2016 Report to the Community is now available. 

The Library fills many important roles for the City of Watertown and the surrounding area by providing access to information, technology, and entertainment to briefly name a few.  Learn more about our services and a few statistics from our completed fiscal year by viewing our most recent Report.
