The Schoharie Free Library remains open to properly-masked, socially-distanced visitors during its regular hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursday from noon to 7 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Details and community resources are at www.SchoharieLibrary.org.  

Support for the Library

Through the month of March, patrons can support the Schoharie Library thanks to the Hannaford Supermarket’s Community Bag program. When shoppers buy a reusable shopping bag at any Hannaford location, they can follow the directions on the attached tag to choose the Schoharie Library as their designated recipient of a $1 donation from Hannaford.
