This weekly family newsletter is providing resources for children’s growing and learning throughout the summer and fall months. In the future, find it on the Links by Icon page.

The Schoharie Free Library is searching for an outgoing, friendly person with a Master of Library Science degree to fill the position of Library Director, due to the retirement of the current Director.  The Board of Trustees created a search committee comprised of Board and community members who helped us to develop a job description, and will also aid in the interview and selection process.  For more details, go to Director’s Position Description. If interested, please send a copy of your
resume and the names & contact information of three professional references to Patricia Clancy, President Board of Trustees at pclancy424@gmail.com.

The public can come back into the Schoharie Library to borrow materials as of Monday August 24th!
Some highlights are: wearing a mask and social distancing is required, restrooms are temporarily closed to the public, only 3 of the public computers will be open and sessions will not be more than 15 minutes, and you are asked to not linger – the new saying is “Grab and Go!”
Go https://shodev.mvls.info/reopening-plan/  for the full reopening plan.
Hope to see you soon!

 Transition hours beginning 6/29 are: Monday, Tuesday, & Friday 11-6, Thursday 12-7, and Saturday 10-2.

Even though people can’t come into the building yet, you can still borrow library materials. Call 518-295-7127, email sholib@midtel.net, or place a request via your account in the online catalog at pac.sals.edu to ask for items to borrow.  The Library will call you to arrange an appointment so you can come and pick up your items.  They will be checked out, packed in one of our new yellow library bags, and placed on a table in the entryway of the door at the top of the ramp for you to pick up.  You will need to bring some form of photo identification to show through the window.

This is a summer learning project of the Mohawk Valley Library System, whose mission is to provide a summer of magical opportunities for families working together — using social-distancing guidelines and natural “found” materials — to build fairy and gnome homes at their own residences, on library lawns, in community parks and other local sites — wherever the shy and mystical “wood folk” might be found!

Families are invited to explore 518Fairy Homes — particularly the “Fun for Families” link at the top of the page — to create their own enchanted, folkloric worlds!

This project is part of the 2020 NYS Summer Reading Program, “Imagine Your Story,” a celebration of fairy tales, folklore, mythology, and sharing your own unique story and voice.

As our libraries prepare to re-open in the weeks ahead, we need your help! If you have library materials on hold, please review them online in your account at https://pac.sals.edu and cancel any items you no longer want. Thank you!
