The Keene Valley Library Association is seeking volunteers to participate in 35-minute focus groups as part of the planning process for a community history initiative, “Adirondack Community: Capturing, Retaining, and Communicating the Stories of Who We Are.”

Focus groups will be held at the Keene Library on Tuesday, June 26 at 4 and 7 pm and at the Keene Valley Library on Thursday, July 5 at 4 and 7 pm. At these meetings, volunteers will help decide categories to organize stories. Suggestions of family, friends, neighbors, and former residents who may be interested in sharing a three-minute story are also welcome.

The KVLA has received a Humanities New York Vision Grant to plan this multi-year project, intended to collect Town of Keene oral histories and related photographs. These are expected to be collected, organized, and made available online at the project’s completion.

To volunteer for the planning process, send an email to myadirondackstory@gmail.com to volunteer for a focus group or suggest themes, individuals, or stories to include in the project.
