On Wednesday, April 10, members of the Ogden Town Board presented a proclamation to representatives from the Ogden Farmers’ Library in recognition of National Library Week (April 7 to 13, 2024). National Library Week is an annual celebration that highlights the valuable role libraries play in strengthening communities and providing a place for education, opportunity and lifelong learning.
“Throughout its storied history beginning in 1815, the Ogden Farmers’ Library has served as a beacon of knowledge and education in the Town of Ogden. With an array of programs, for kids, teens and adults, there is something for everyone at our local library,” said Town Supervisor Mike Zale. “I especially enjoy participating in story time with Children’s Services Librarian Steve Shon each month. I’m always so impressed with his ability to keep the kids engaged through song, dance and reading.
“Thank you to Library Director John Cohen the entire Ogden Farmers’ Library team for their unwavering commitment to education and to the residents of the Town of Ogden. I am grateful to have this valued resource here in town,” concluded Zale.
“It was such an honor to be recognized alongside members of the Library Board of Trustees during this year’s National Library Week,” said Library Director John Cohen. “At the Ogden Farmers’ Library, we work every day to offer educational, recreational and social opportunities to the citizens of Ogden in a safe, fun and inclusive environment. I invite the community to stop by for a visit to check out all the Ogden Farmers’ Library has to offer.”
The Ogden Farmers’ Library is located at 269 Ogden Center Road, Spencerport. Those with questions about their hours or program offerings, can visit their website at http://ogdenlibrary.com or call 585-617-6181.
