Schoharie Library Notes for Wednesday, April 14, 2021

The Schoharie Free Library has recently expanded its Saturday hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We’re now open to visitors a total of 35 hours a week: 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 5 p.m.  

Puzzles

 library’s recent Puzzle Swap was a great success. Our generous patrons donated far more puzzles than they took in exchange, so we have plenty of puzzles still looking for a good home. In other words, our puzzle swap has now become a puzzle give-away! Stop by to pick up a puzzle or two for free—even if you didn’t contribute one to the pile. Librarians love sharing.
