How do you deal with parents who don’t pay attention during family story time?…)

Update: Outreach to Schoharie County Hurricane Victims

If you or your library patrons are wondering how you can help with the Hurricane Irene relief efforts in nearby Schoharie County, check out this list Hurricane Relief Donation Sites.

The Schoharie Free Library and the Middleburgh Library in Schoharie County need your help to rebuild their recently damaged book collections. Schoharie Library lost the bottom three shelves throughout and Middleburgh lost the bottom one plus shelves due to Hurricane Irene damage.

Three local independent bookstores have established funds to help them purchase replacement titles. Your donations in any dollar amount will be greatly appreciated. Please call the Open Door Bookstore in Schenectady at 518-346-2719; Market Block Books at 518-328-0045 or Book House in Colonie at 518-489-4761 with a credit card to donate. Or, stop by any of these stores in person to donate.
