Stephentown Library Veterans Rededication

Stephentown Library Veterans Rededication Celebration will take place on Wednesday, November 7, at 7 pm at the Stephentown Memorial Library.
The present Library had its origin at a meeting of the Stephentown War Council in May, 1946, when Lewis Griffin presented plans for the formation of a library to honor the local men and women who had served in the armed forces in the two world wars. These plans were formalized on September 9, 1946, when a group met to organize the Stephentown Memorial Library. Seven trustees were elected. The names of the 50 men and women who served in W.W. I and the 104 W.W. II veterans to whom the Library is dedicated are listed on plaques which hung in the vestibule of the Library until the recent expansion.
During this special celebration, the refurbished plaques will be re-hanged in the Community Room to honor our veterans. Refreshments will be served.  Area youth are especially encouraged to come and meet the Stephentown veterans and hear about their service.
