Let’s play book bingo! You can either print the form from the file attached to the image on the left, or pick up a copy in the library. If you would like to participate, please let me know that you are so I can gather enough prizes.

With these challenging times stress can get the best of us and smoking is often a source of relief to many, but as it has been stated smoking can lead to a greater susceptibility towards Covid-19.
As you may know the library is a tobacco free space, as is the area outside the library. Please continue to follow these guidelines to protect all community members, as well as yourself.
If you are considering quitting, please reach out to Tobacco Free Communities of Deleware, Otsego & Schoharie Counties. They can help provide free resources to help you quit.
Attached is more information on tobacco free community spaces.
If you have received a census notice in the mail and have access to a computer with internet or even a cell phone with data, please complete the census. With the information you provide the government and/or state can provide our areas with the appropriate financial assistance needed for schools, libraries and our village/towns.
