Thank You!

The staff of the Canastota Public Library thanks you for your support as we grieve the loss of our beloved collegue, Pete Leggett. 

We were overwhelmed by the many of you who attended Pete's calling hours and funeral services. 

We will continue to have our first floor cabinet dedicated to Pete and some of his work.  This display will remain up at the library for several more weeks.  Additionally, at our circulation desk, you may stop by and post your memories of Pete in a special notebook.  This notebook will be given to Pete's family in October.
