- In 2004, Bright HIll Center realized a dream by building the new Bright Hill Center Library and Internet Wing. The Wing, funded, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts Capital Program, is also funded by the A. Lindsay and Olive B. O'Connor Foundation, the Walter Rich Charitable Foundation, the Otis A. Thompson Foundation, and Bright Hill's members and friends. In November, 2004, poets and writers and friends helped us celebrate our grand opening. The library's collections include literary prose and poetry, books on art, reference books, and a children's section. Among the collections is the Quarterly Review of Literature Collection of Literary Journals, dating back to the 1940s and often including complete sets of magazines; and the Doris Vladimiroff Collection of literary prose and poetry and books on art; as well as many individually-donated books.
- The library includes a tower loft for children, for reading and playing quiet board games; it has already proved a hit for children who participate in our literary workshops and who just come to read.
- The library will not be a circulating library for at least two years, and some collections will be for study and archival use only. Call 607-829-5055 for more information.
- If you would like to contribute books or funds to our beautiful new library please send your donation to Bright Hill Center, POB 193, Treadwell, NY 13846. For more information, contact the Center at wordthur@stny.rr.com. or call 607-829-5055.
