Slocum (left) As the community grew, so did the need for a larger facility. Frances Fuggle was the librarian from 1979-1994. The tiny building housed 9,000 books in 1979 and had a circulation of 17,000. By 1994 the number of books had grown to 12,000, and the circulation had increased steadily to 20,000. There were numerous programs at the library even though it was only 900 square feet occupying 2 floors. The building was not handicapped accessible and the tiny bathroom was the only place for storage. It was often difficult for patrons to move around among the shelves. Norm joked that it was a “single file” library. There was always talk about having a larger facility, but finally the discussion became serious. The possibility of a new building was made even more feasible because Mrs. Fuggle had not accepted any salary during her tenure as librarian. Those funds, along with being added to the Cazenovia School Budget vote helped to make the plan a reality!
Mrs. Fuggle retired in 1994 after 14 year as director, and the search began for a replacement. {View All} {1} {2} {3}
