Schoharie Library Notes for Thursday, April 9, 2020
The Schoharie Library is closed, consistent with the Schoharie school closure, until further notice. Please check the library’s website and Facebook page for updates. E-books, audio books, and e-magazines are available through Libby, Overdrive, and other links on the Schoharie Library and MVLS websites: https://schoharielibrary.org/ and https://www.mvls.info/
If you don't have a library card, you can get an instant library card for borrowing e-books, etc. at https://mvls.overdrive.com/ or in the Libby app at https://meet.libbyapp.com/
The Schoharie Library website has a page of resources which is frequently updated: https://schoharie.mvls.info/resources-during-covid19/
Wifi is available outside the building and in the parking lot.
The book drop is closed — please hang onto your books till we reopen. No late fees will be charged as long as books are returned within two weeks of the library’s reopening.
Books on the Porch
Books from our shed are now available on the front porch of the library. Please practice “social distancing,” and hang onto whichever books you choose (no need to return them). A note of caution — please don't add to the books on the porch. We’ll accept donations again when the library is open. Thanks!
Egg hunt and more
Come check out the big decorated Easter eggs at the library — ready for the “Socially Distant Easter Egg Hunt!”
