Library Resources

Lodi Literacy Hub

The Lodi Literacy Hub is a place where ALL readers, including those who are struggling, can find books and materials that meet them right where they are.

We understand that learning to read can be difficult.  

And, for those who are dyslexic or have other language-based learning disabilities, learning to read can feel like an insurmountable challenge.

We are proud to build a “gold standard” collection of decodable books; parent/guardian resources; Hi-Lo books and books by or about dyslexics.

The historic main lodge, built by the WPA in 1939, houses the largest public aquarium in the Finger Lakes – highlighting the fish life of Cayuga Lake past and present – as well as exhibits on local forest ecology, wildlife, and climate.
