Library Catalog 
Search the public libraries of Albany and Rensselaer counties by visiting our online catalog.

Online databases are available from home with a valid library card from a public library in Albany or Rensselaer County.
 

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.  www.digitalcollection.uhls.org

 


 

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.

Supported by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act funds, granted by the New York State Library
