On Saturday, March 17 from 10 a.m. to noon come to the library to about Chainsaw Safety - An Introduction. Chainsaws are among the most useful and dangerous outdoor power tools owned and operated by landowners. Severe injuries include deep, jagged lacerations embedding foreign substances resulting from direct contact with the chainsaw; strains and sprains from improper handling; and contusions concussions and/or fractures caused by being struck by objects while cutting. Improper long-term use may result in loss of hearing and diminished nerve sensitivity. The use, storage, and transportation of potentially hazardous materials necessary for chainsaw operation increases the risk of injury. While all danger cannot be eliminated, training and instruction have proven to be an effective way to mitigate the risk of harm to a chainsaw user.
Mike Burns from Professional Forestry Services will present an instructional program for the occasional chainsaw user on safe operation and risk mitigation. This session is intended to be an introduction to chainsaw use and is not adequate preparation for felling standing trees. Participants will not be using a chainsaw as part of the workshop.

HEGS is a group of homeschooling families with a wide variety of backgrounds, approaches to education, and religious affiliations. We exist to provide secular support for homeschooling families, offer information about homeschooling, and to allow for sharing of educational opportunities. We hope to increase public awareness, acceptance, and support of home education in Schoharie County.
Vegan cooking
On Saturday, Jan. 20 at 2 p.m. join us for vegan cooking from "Street Vegan - Cookbook of the Month - Vegan Cooking for the Rest of Us”. The Middleburgh Library presents its monthly book club, "Cooking by the Vegan Book." We pick the cookbook, you pick and make the recipe! How the cookbook club works; Every month, a cookbook will be selected and will be at the circulation desk, for you to look at and we will print up the recipe of your choice. Sign up online or at the circulation desk, let us know what you're cooking so we don't have duplicates. Registration is required
Please check our Calendar on our website at HYPERLINK "http://www.middleburghlibrary.info" www.middleburghlibrary.info. for added or future programs.
