libraries of Albany and Rensselaer counties by
visiting our online catalog.
 Online databases are available from home with a valid library card

 Downloadable
Digital Video
We are now able to offer downloadable digital video.
Through the Upper Hudson Library System there are over three hundred
titles available. These range from educational shorts to cartoons
as well as feature films. Patrons are able to either download
videos to their computer and/or transfer these files to a portable
device (MP3, iPod, etc.). These downloadable titles are checked
out for three weeks and automatically returned to the Library.

UHLS Mini-Grant
 The
Library applied for and received a mini-grant through the Upper Hudson
Library System. Our community partner in this endeavor is the
Senior Citizens Center. With this grant we have purchased a wide-screen,
wall-mount TV, Nintendo Wii gaming system, and a digital video camera.
The purpose of this grant is to teach Senior Citizens how to use the Wii
system for exercise which will take advantage of the low impact nature
of the games. In addition, the Library would like to host gaming
competitions and put the video on WVLT. Seniors are invited
to the Library on Wednesday mornings, 11 a.m., to explore the world of
Wii. No registration required.
 The
Watervliet Public Library offers its patrons a wireless internet
connection (Wi-Fi) when visiting the Library. See Library Policies
for more information.
