The Chief Administrative Judge of the state of New York has appointed Judge John W. Sweeny, Jr., Putnam County Senior Resident Justice, as chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Putnam County Supreme Court Law Library.
No small task, this library operation is charged with providing professional legal resources to attorneys and the public — a unique library that serves a vital and distinct function for professionals and the general public. This facility in the new Putnam County Courthouse on Gleneida Avenue in Carmel is an update of the what was housed in the previous courthouse. There are expanded services and Internet access for lawyers, as well as new programs to help litigants who are self-represented.
In a release announcing his appointment, Sweeny said he is looking forward to the improved library.
He is also an Associate Justice of the Appellate Division of the New York State Supeme Court.
