Photographs of CDLC are pretty boring - a bunch of desks, computers and file cabinets. Lucky for me, I took a trip to Crandall Public Library in Glens Falls the week that we got this assignment. I was there for a workshop on security for archival facilities, which I will blog about later if time allows. For now, I will focus on the library's
Folklife Center. The Center is a wonderful place that many people in the Capital Region have never heard of. Its mission is to "research and present the cultural traditions of the upper Hudson valley and southern Adirondacks of upstate New York." Besides a research collection of both archival and 3-dimensional objects, the Center has changing exhibits and many performances throughout the year.
Check out more photos on
my Flickr stream (taken with approval of Center staff) and then go see them in person! Besides the Folklife Center, Glens Falls is also home to the
Hyde Collection (which has photo streams and YouTube videos on their web site), a couple of good book stores -
Red Fox Books and
The Dog Ate My Homework being my favorites, and some excellent restaurants. I finally got to try
The Chocolate Mill on my most recent visit. Definitely more than enough to make a trip up the Northway worthwhile!
