They have lots of informative maps and pamphlets, emphasizing hiking, camping, fishing, and other recreational interests, and a variety of small items for purchase. It really gave me a great vibe, and a sense that St. Lawrence County, and Canton, in particular, are livable spots with great people (and lots of snow). Definitely worth stopping by if you are strolling down main-street.

The Seaway Skyway Bridge is not far from downtown and carries road traffic between the two nations (but it's not easily accessible for photographs from the New York side). Ogdensburg is the only port on the Saint Lawrence Seaway. Friendly people, lots to see and do here, free parking. I look forward to a return! [Review 1581 of 2024 - 496 in New York - 22604 overall]

This was the next little library my wife and I came across during our little exploration and…read moresearching for them in Canton area. This one is located in a small little park located in the downtown area. This one is set up well for it to work out that if you come during a nice day you may be able to grab your new book to read and enjoy sitting at a table or in the grass. I suspect due to location this would mean lots of people swapping books. During our visit it was decently full, nothing that caught my attention enough to grab a book. My wife didn't end up grabbing any either. If you enjoy the author Malcom Gladwell they had three different books by him. They had some cooking books, small amount of kids books, autobiographies, older romance books, and others. Was in an easy to access/come across location with a decent amount of books.
