Canastota Public Library

Canastota Public Library has served this Madison County village since 1896, and its historic Carnegie building still anchors the community. Inside, an old-fashioned setting meets modern touches like a 3D printer and a seed library, along with programs that bring neighbors together, all under one roof.

Beyond the book stacks, the library keeps a robust local history archive and hosts monthly art exhibits. The mix makes it as much a community gathering spot as a place to borrow things, which is just what a village library should be.
