The library is a museum!!! It's so beautiful inside and out! And if you're just visiting the area I would suggest stopping by and exploring the library to see the beautiful history that is inside! It is located close to Fort Drum, about 15 minutes or so depending on traffic. There is a parking lot in the back that has accessible parking and along the side of the library are wheelchair accessible entrances.

This library is quiet and does have a few cozy corners and such but it's not very large and sound does carry. Stacks of books, DVDs and other materials. Friendly librarians who seem very willing to help. There is plaque near the front entrance, "The central part of this building was originally the Rosseel Mansion afterward converted into the summer residence of George C. Clark of New York City. In the year 1895 it became the Ogdensburg Public Library through the generosity of Mr. Clark and the contributions of public-spirited citizens."

We were told on numerous occasions by different librarians that our dog is not welcome in the…read morelibrary. Each time we showed our documents which indicated that our dog is an emotional support animal. Each time we were then told by librarians that emotional support animals are not allowed in the library. Each time we then told the librarians to talk with their supervisor. The supervisor always confirmed that emotional support animals are allowed into the library. So after being treated unpleasantly by library staff, we always got to bring in our perfectly behaved dog. What made it more insulting was library staff telling us how our dog was supposed to behave. Our dog never bothered anyone. Our dog was always quiet. Our dog never destroyed anything. Our dog had impeccable manners. Library staff do not understand the difference between an emotional support animal and a service dog. Our dog was not a service dog. She was an emotional support animal. A couple of librarians were kind and understood. Unfortunately, most of the librarians made our experience unpleasant. So we have completely stopped going to the library. It is unfortunate that we cannot stop our taxes from going to support library services.
