Overview

The Massena Public Library helps people of all ages in our community succeed in their educational, professional and personal lives. Our services meet community needs by encouraging literacy, supplementing education, providing cultural opportunities and tools for lifelong learning.

The Massena Public Library found its permanent home at 41 Glenn Street back in the early 1960s – thanks to a memorial gift of a son for his father. Victor, the son of Henry H. Warren (whose company built the first hydroelectric facility in Massena), set aside a sum of money so that a memorial could be erected for his father. A library was chosen as the ideal memorial to Henry Warren and, upon the completion of its construction in September of 1962, it was dedicated and given to the Town of Massena.
