Schoharie Library Notes for Wednesday, February 19, 2020

By Take the Schoharie Library survey! As we plan for the future, the Schoharie Library needs to know what you think about our services: what you like, what you think could be improved, what new thing you’d like us to add.

The library survey can be found online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F3GJLR. Each person in your household can take the survey separately, and the more answers the better! Please take a few minutes, and help aim us in the right direction as we move forward.

Printed copies will be available at the library.
