Canajoharie Library

History:

The Canajoharie Library was born in the 1880s when a committee of local dignitaries organized a lending library in the drawing room of the Arkell home. By the early 1900s the library had moved first to a school room and then to rented space downtown. In 1914, under the sponsorship of local industrialist Bartlett Arkell, the library was granted its charter by New York State
