The Mechanicville District Public Library (8,000 square feet with a budget of $361,966) serves the smallest city in New York State, as well as the towns of Stillwater, Halfmoon and Schaghticoke — a total population of just over 10,000. The population is evenly broken into seniors, middle-aged people and young folk. The library shares a parking lot with the city’s Senior Center and Community Center, which hosts a food pantry.
