About
We are a full service public library in Herkimer, NY dedicated to the community for 120 years, and a part of the Mid-York Library System.

Story
The Frank J. Basloe Public Library provides services for the Herkimer Central School District area. We received our new charter as a school district library in November of 2013.  Our history dates to the creation of the Herkimer Library in 1895.  We serve a population of more than 10,000 which includes most of the town of Herkimer.  Our location is at 245 N. Main St., Herkimer, NY with parking in the rear entered from N. Prospect St.  Our hours are posted on our website, www.midyork.org/herkimer/.  We are a member of the 3-county Mid-York Library System and our library cards are welcome at 42 libraries in Herkimer, Oneida and Madison counties.
Our collections are refreshed continually and include popular books, children’s favorites, eBooks, magazines, movie DVDs, music CDs, audio books and large print.  We also have a distinctive genealogy collection and reference material.
Services provided include: faxing, document scanning and printing and repairing CD surfaces.  We offer a meeting room for community activities on a reserved basis.  The Washburn Room has a projector and screen and WIFI available.
We offer computer terminals for public use and WIFI access within the building.  The library is arranged with comfortable reading areas to encourage a welcoming atmosphere.
Programming includes a Summer Reading Program and children’s activities throughout the year. We occasionally can offer assistance and training to the public for a variety of topics.  All are welcome to check out our planned activities on our social media sites:  Facebook and Pinterest.
The school district voters elect a board of trustees who oversee the financial budget and policies.  These documents are available on our website as well as the monthly board minutes.  We have a Friends of Basloe Library group who raises and supplies funds for both special programs and requested capital purchases.
Please come in and meet our Director: Christine “Chris” Fleischer and take a tour of our library.

Mission
We are a welcoming place that serves our community in its pursuit of knowledge, information, and personal growth.
