A message from the Director...
 Greetings to all those living in the Greater Cornwall area. Having lived in Cornwall myself for various periods over the past 30 years I come to my job here with some interesting memories and connections to people in the community. But I'd like to expand my knowledge of what the Library means to you. That means I'm here to listen. Tell me please your opinion of what the library should be doing to further fulfill your needs. What resources, programs, equipment or facilities would you like to find at the Cornwall Library? Email me at jmahoney@rcls.org, drop me a line in the mail, or call me at 534-8282, ext. 201. The library is committed to continuing the service the community has come to expect during this transition period. We're here to serve you and your family.
Jim Mahoney
Interim Library Director
