Greetings from the Mayville Library!  Here are some highlights from 2023:   

We had a total of 12,769 patrons come through our doors and check out 22,032 items.  The items included books, audio books, magazines, DVDs and electronic books.  We also offered the following services:  computer use, Wi-Fi, copying, faxing, reference, a local history collection and meeting rooms.

There are a variety of programs that we offer for children:  Mondays with Melissa (stories, crafts, STEM and Legos), Homeschool Group, Wee Wigglers (baby and toddler story time), Summer Reading Program and a partnership with Chautauqua Lake Central School for reading incentive programs.  The adult programs include:  Healthy Living Classes, Crafternoon, Book Club, Tutoring and gardening classes. In addition, the meeting rooms have been used for tutoring, Scout meetings, visitation

We are very grateful to the Village of Mayville and the Town of Chautauqua for the funding that we receive.  There were several fundraising events held to supplement that funding:  four book sales, a birdhouse contest, a garden tour, a banana bread bake-off, a silent auction and a basket raffle. 

Information about our services and programs can be found on our website, Facebook page and in the monthly newsletter, “between the pages”.

We enjoy being a gathering place in the community where people can come for information, materials and a friendly, social atmosphere.  Our patrons are the heartbeat of the library and we look forward to serving them for many years to come.
