Long Lake Library and the Adirondack Museum
July 7, 2009
Like I said yesterday, The Adirondacks
is bear country. And just yesterday after I
posted about my hunt for libraries (and
not bears), I stumbled upon this bear, right outside the Long Lake Library, located in Long Lake, NY. --->
I actually visited this library years ago and was pleasantly surprised when I read about a major donation they received back in 2007. "
Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson of Whitney Park in Long Lake, New York have helped endow the Long Lake Library with a $250,000 donation. In recognition of the largest gift in the Library’s history, the Board has renamed the Library, “The Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Long Lake Library”, in honor of Whitney’s late husband." (via Long Lake Library blog)
It's libraries like these that I like to visit because they are staples in their tiny, close-knitted communities. They also serve as a valuable resource for visitors like me, and for locals as well, who are searching for good books, and events happening to help fill their summer days.
*A side note*
After checking my e-mails yesterday, I realized that the fine folks over at the
Adirondack Museum are now following
me on
Twitter. The AM is also a wonderful tourist attraction to visit if you are ever up in this
neck-of-the-woods.
Tomorrow, or maybe later today, I will share my photo journal with you.
