This means that you can click the Ancestry button from our catalog or our homepage, log in with your library card, and use the service from anywhere.

Looking for a way to give back to the Massena community? Join Massena Public Library as we participate in “The Great Give Back”. The Great Give Back is an opportunity for all New York Public Libraries to help their community by accepting donations for distribution to those in need. Throughout the month of October we will be accepting personal hygiene or cleaning products at the library. All collected products will be donated to our local food banks at the end of the month. Thank you for your support.
