May 2024 Spotlight: Readers by the River

Our March 2024 Spotlight is celebrating 15+ years together!

Readers By The River started as a group of Friends of the Library in 2001. We currently have 11 members, two of which are Charter members.  We meet monthly in our Municipal Building with a view of the Oswego River on most days. Our members range in age from women in their 60’s to one member who is 91. While most members are native Fultonians we have transplants from NYC and various other places.

We try to include a variety of genres in our monthly selections.
