Schoharie Library Notes for Wednesday, March 17, 2021

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 pm; 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.  

Library supporters can help the Schoharie Library thanks to the Hannaford Supermarket’s Community Bag program. Through the month of March, 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. 

Puzzles

The library is currently accepting donations of complete, boxed puzzles in preparation for a Puzzle Swap in early April. Bring a puzzle or two to the Schoharie Library before March 27 and watch for notices about when to come back to browse the selection and take a new puzzle home.
