The David E. Vayner Branch Library was opened in June
1999 and, as the memorial plaque hanging at the library states is
named for: "David E. Vayner, a member of the G. Ray Bodley class of
1991 and attended SUNY Canton. He was a sensitive young man who was
unique in many different ways, but he was among the first of his
generation locally to discover the wondrous world of information and
communication available to us via the Internet. David died
tragically at the age of 20 in June of 1993. The David E. Vayner
Branch Library is dedicated in his memory by Oswego County Catholic
Charities, "to those young people seeking knowledge and advancement
in the world." During 2005 the Oswego County Catholic Charities made
additional renovated space available to the Fulton Public Library,
allowing us to almost double the size of the Vayner Library and
change its designation from "resource room" to "branch library."
With the addition of resources and computers it was possible to
bring the Vayner Branch online with the SIRSI library automation
system used by over 25 of the member libraries of the North Country
Library System. Now, between the automated catalog and the resources
linked from this website, the Vayner Branch, like the Carnegie Main
Library, is a "library without walls," giving registered patrons
access to literally millions of books, audio-visuals and other
materials for borrowing as well as and the full text of thousands of
periodicals through online subscription databases. The Vayner Branch
is home to a self-directed creative writing group which meets every
other Wednesday at 1:00 pm and is open to the public. For more
information see our calendar or call us at (315) 598-5896. |
