Ellington Farman Library

Our library exists in the present, in the past and into the future with the mission to serve the community and we sincerely hope you find  value in our service. Come to use a computer or play a board game with your family.  Attend a program or learn a new craft. And yes, you can still come in and read a book, newspaper or magazine.  View an art display. We’ve got enough room for everyone. So feel free to come in. Talk to someone new.  Ask for the monthly calendar of events and see what could interest you. The library can be your third space. We have changed our  offerings over the last 100  years but we have never changed our mission. Please take a look at our April Newsletter and, as usual, we’ll see you in the library!

April 2025 Ellington Library Newsletter

Stopping in the library you will notice we have done some work in the nonfiction sections. Our goal was to simplify both the adult and junior nonfiction collection.  Thanks to a grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, we were able to purchase new bookcases, new shelving bookends and category dividers to help us make this collection more user friendly. The whole explanation can be found inside the March newsletter. Come visit the library soon and tell us what you think about the new categories and whether it is easier to find your topic.

New Year? First year or 100 years! The Ellington Farman Library is  excited to be celebrating their 100th anniversary this year and we hope you will come to the library to enjoy this year of celebration with us.  The first thing we have planned is a collaborative art project. Here’s how it works:  there will be 48 large puzzle pieces available and patrons/community members  can each take one and decorate them any way you would like. Our goal is to put them together as a large wall hanging that will always hang in our library. Just think– 100 years from now the patrons will see what we were thinking, doing and creating in the year 2025! Details are available in the library and in our January Newsletter.
