Books By Your Neighbors

Where would public libraries be without books? Especially dear to our member libraries are works by authors who live in their neighborhoods, so we’ve created a website to link local authors to their books in our library catalog.

Authors who live in New York’s Hamilton, Saratoga, Warren or Washington Counties, year round or seasonally, we need your help. If you aren’t listed here, email us your name, county of residence, and the title of one book in our library catalog, and we’ll add you to this list.
