Work on the Coburn Free Library’s accessibility annex began on Jan. 27, 2020. When construction is complete, there will be an at-grade entrance; ADA approved restroom, and an elevator providing access to all levels of the historic, Owego library.  

For the first time since the initial build in 1910, the Coburn Free Library will be accessible by all.
