2020 Annual Report to the Community
Our 2020 Annual Report to the Community is now available online! It goes without saying that 2020 was a challenging year in many regards. The global COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our lives and tested our creativity as we transformed our offerings to align with the unique restrictions we all faced.
As New York state moved through the different phases, Clinton Community Library remained committed to serving our community reimagining services and program offerings in order to meet required health guidelines.
Please take a moment to look at our year “by the numbers” and you’ll see the positive impact we have on the Town of Clinton. Thanks to all for your continued support!
