"Old" News

It's so much fun to browse through our old newspapers!  I found the following news from East Williamson in the August 27, 1897, issue of The Record:

"A group of six young ladies wheeled to Ontario Centre, ate ice cream and returned--and that all on Saturday afternoon."

I wonder what our average mileage is on a Saturday afternoon in 2016!

Wednesday Weather Closing

When the Sodus Central School District is closed due to weather, the Sodus Community Library is also closed.  Stay inside today where it's warm, and be safe!

Local Newspapers Now Searchable

We have exciting news!  You can now click here to access 101 years of our local newspapers, The Wayne County Alliance and The Record.  The papers included are from 1876 to 1977.  They are searchable by topic, name, subject, etc., or you can browse by month and/or year.  You can clip articles of interest, download complete pages, or print what you find.  In my searches I've been able to find wedding, birth, and graduation announcements, obituaries of family members, interesting news articles, plus many "who visited whom" tidbits.  Click the link above and discover some of your family's local history!

Funding for this project was provided by Senator Michael Nozzolio and the Friends of the Sodus Community Library.  We also are grateful to Wilma Young for supporting the digitization of the library's microfilms of The Record

We're thankful during this holiday season for the Sodus Intermediate students (and their teachers!) who put together this Awakening Tree for our community. When you stop by the library, take time to read a few of the quotes written on the leaves, and choose a meaningful one to pass on to someone. There's no better time for a simple act of kindness!
