Assemblyman Jones Secures Funding for North Country Libraries

From the office of Assemblyman Billy Jones

Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay) announced that the New York State Department of Education has released construction funding secured in the 2018-19 state budget for North Country libraries. The funding will allow several local libraries to make significant renovations to better serve their communities.

“Public libraries not only provide access to books, online resources and vital services like classes and job search assistance, but they also help shape our lives,” said Jones. “Libraries foster a love of reading and learning at a young age, and continue to support residents of all ages. This funding will help fuel these critical community resources for years to come.”

The funding includes $32,642 for Chazy Public Library and $16,590 for Dannemora Free Library for exterior renovations and $190,204 for Goff Nelson Public Library in Tupper Lake to install a new heating and air conditioning system. Additionally, Clinton Essex Franklin Library System headquarters in Plattsburgh will receive $19,705 to upgrade their driveway.
