Schoharie Library Notes for Thursday, April 16, 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.
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!
