Schoharie Library News - 5 April 2021

The Schoharie Free Library has recently expanded its Saturday hours from 10 am until 5 pm; we’re now open to visitors a total of 35 hours a week: Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, 11 am-6 pm; Thursday, 12 pm-7 pm; and Saturday, 10 am-5 pm.  

National Library Week is April 4-10, which makes this week a great time to sign up for a library card if you don’t already have one. Kids aged 5-15 can get a juvenile card; anyone over 16 living in the Schoharie School District is eligible for an adult card. To sign up for a free library card, just come to the library with a copy of your picture ID and a piece of mail sent to your current address. 

Our Puzzle Swap continues this week and we’re still accepting donations of puzzles through Saturday, April 10. For every puzzle you bring in, you can take one home from the big display in the library. 

All our regularly scheduled programs are currently meeting online via Zoom. Find a complete calendar of events for the month of April at schoharie.mvls.info/calendar. Here’s what we have scheduled for the coming week: 

Miss Heather will hold her next Interactive Online Storytime at 10:00 am on Friday, April 9. The weekly storytime series has reached the letter Z and will celebrate with stories featuring a zoo and Zero the Hero. 

Our Writing Club will next meet online on Monday, April 12 at 6:30 pm. Also on April 12, the Young Adult Advisory Council will meet at 7 pm to decide on the next set of YA novels to add to the library’s collection. 

On Tuesday, April 13, join our Books & Chocolate group at 6:30 pm to chat about books you’re reading and offer book recommendations to other members. Newcomers are always welcome to join the friendly conversation.
