final plan
Above is the conceptual plan for a proposed new library building. (Click the image, then click again, for a larger view. Arrow on top indicates the entryway facing East Street.)  This plan is smaller and less costly than the previous one. Over the past year, the Board of Trustees held several meetings with community representatives. These individuals provided feedback on the kind of library building which community residents can support, to provide the services residents need and want. With this input, the conceptual plan for a new library building has been developed. Community meetings are being scheduled to provide information about the new plan, and additional information is available at the library.

We are pleased to announce that we have received a 2017 Seed Challenge Grant from SALS (Southern Adirondack Library System.) The $9638 grant is designated for the expansion of our popular newsletter, the Galway Get Together, into a one-stop community resource. This exciting project will increase the coverage and circulation of the GGT, and will include a website with a local business directory, space for community news and announcements, and more. We will be contacting local businesses and organizations to help you reach more of the community with your information. We’re just getting started; stay tuned for more information as we get this project going!

We have IRS forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ , and New York State forms IT-201 and IT-2, and instructions, available now at the library. More forms may be downloaded and printed from the IRS website  and from the NYS Dept. of Taxation and Finance site.

We have a New Building Donation Form available to make it easy for you to contribute to your library’s New Building Fund. You may print the form, fill it out and drop it off at the library or mail it in. Thank you for your support!

In compliance with a New York State construction aid grant awarded during the fall of 2014, it is necessary for the library to complete site improvements to the East Street property.  Galway Public Library Board of Trustees.

If you owe an overdue fine, you may continue to pay it off with cash or volunteer to work off the amounts. Or try our new methods: 1. “Read Down Your Fine” is intended for youths 17 & under. For every 1/2 hour they read (or are read to) in the library, they will get the equivalent of $1 off the amount they owe for overdue fines.  2. “Can Food” supports the GGCSA food pantry. For every can or non-perishable item brought in, we will reduce the overdue fine by $1.00. All methods are only valid for Galway fines and overdues. Replacement costs for lost items are not eligible for fine reduction.
