Just a reminder that libraries keep curiosity alive and communities connected. 💙

Essential then, essential now and forever.

Yesterday, we celebrated Cynthia Horton McKane on her upcoming retirement. Cynthia has spent her time at our library teaching and supporting thousands of students, dedicating hours of her time advocating for the library, and supporting the JCC community in any way that she can. She is a vital asset that will be greatly missed. Thank you for your hard work and dedication, Cynthia. Have a happy retirement!

The photo shows three smiling students posing in front of a green sign reading “Cattaraugus County Campus.” Visible book covers include a thriller novel with large bold lettering and a blue-toned cover, alongside a Laura Ingalls Wilder book with a red-and-white gingham border. The overall image has a warm, nostalgic feel.

We are SO proud of our Learning Center Coordinators!

Our Janelle Grey and Beth Lisi took their expertise from the Learning Center all the way to Seattle to present at a national conference on how students can use AI to learn the right way.

Their session, “Thinking Outside the Bot,” focused on turning AI into a learning partner by encouraging curiosity, better questioning, and what they call “productive struggle,” which can lead to real understanding.

We’re proud to see Janelle and Beth leading the way and shaping how AI supports student success!
