Schroon’s New Book Store

Fancy a summer read of a potboiler, a blockbuster or want to expand your cookbook collection? Then you are in luck, as the Friends Of the Schroon Library’s Used Book Store has more than 10,000 titles in stock.

And in their new, expanded space, it’s an entirely different experience from previous years.

There’s ample room to browse the aisles, where sections are clearly labeled.  The books sit in new pine bookshelves, designed by Larry Vanderburgh and built by Peter White.

The store is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 10 am  -  2pm, in the basement of the Hudson Headwaters Health Building.

We have another stunning shot to share of Schroon at night, taken by a photographer from ROOST. As we reported yesterday, ROOST (Regional Office Of Sustainable Tourism)  works closely with Adirondack towns like Schroon to promote and grow tourism and local businesses, while at the same time improving the quality of life for year round residents.

Patrick Siler: The Future Of Schroon

Patrick Siler, the new Executive Director of the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, is gearing up for one of the town’s busiest weeks with the Annual July 4th Celebration.

Since Patrick began in his new position in April, there are not enough hours in the day to get to everything he needs to do – run the chamber, navigate through a myriad of red tape in order to secure grants, as well as develop a plan to grow Schroon,  its tourism and find a way to attract new businesses and residents to town.

We caught up with Patrick a couple of weeks into his new job for a sit down interview. Here he shares his vision about the future of Schroon Lake, the challenges that are ahead and the steps that have to be taken to have a robust town and economy. Read our interview in our My Story section.
