Cohocton Public Library moves to new building. (Southern Tier Library System)
Chain gang. Cohocton students move 5,000 books to new library. (Genesee County Express, 5/11/2011)
Excerpt: On May 11, roughly 220 Cohocton Pre-k through fourth graders did more than go outdoors and have some fun, they helped the Cohocton Public Library move its roughly 5,000 children’s books to its new location, and did so in less than two hours.
The students walked from the school to the library, then formed a line from there, through the Village Greens, and to the new library on Maple Avenue.
The students, teachers and other staff moved the children’s books down the line in a “bucket-brigade” fashion.
Cohocton Library director Hope Decker said the idea came from one of the library’s board members, Barb Sick, who remembers doing the same kind of thing when she was a student in the 1930s.
