The Bancroft Public Library has been serving the town of Salem for over 120 years! There are 42,000 items in its collection, plus they can access thousands of other resources from other libraries through the Southern Adirondack Library System (SALS).

Stop by often, as the library offers the community a wide variety of classes, groups, and meet ups. On a regular basis there are Chess, Scrabble, and Mahjong groups, a knitting club and birding club, monthly senior citizen potlucks, and a weekly story time geared for children ages one to five years old. There is also a makerspace for people to create, build, and craft, and a children’s play area.

Feel free to stop by anytime the library is open to access a variety of resources: books, Wi-Fi, computers, DVDs, audiobooks, makerspace, games, and printing.
