The Library Board hired sculptor E. B. Cox of Ontario to do renditions of the seven animals representing the seven Tuscarora clans to decorate the new library. These can be seen near the fountain in the center of the library. The seven clans represented are Turtle, Wolf, Bear, Beaver, Snipe, Eel, and Sand Turtle/Deer
The Library is home to the “Bjarne Klaussen Collection”. This collection depicts buildings of Lewiston, New York that were considered historically significant in the village’s development.
Local artist Ellen Comerford has recently donated several of her abstract paintings for display in the library's public Internet computer area. Ms. Comerford holds a Master's degree in art and art history from SUNY at Buffalo. Her work is included in private, public and corporate collections in the US and Canada. Another local artist Jody Ziehm has completed murals for display in the Children's Room.
