Ant Farm
As a part of the "Catch the Reading Bug" Summer Reading Program, I bought an AntWorks farm from ThinkGeek.com. The harvester ants are living in a nutritious gel developed by NASA for experiments in space. I unplug the LEDs while the Library is closed, so the ants gets some "down time."

Library Vote May 20th
Voter Proposition - on the Schoharie Free Library
On the May 20 ballot there is a proposition that would authorize Schoharie Central School District to collect $55,000 annually to support and maintain the Schoharie Free Library. The current library levy is $50,000 and has been that amount for five years. The request for an additional $5,000 annually is to help the library defray rising costs of operating the facility. It is estimated that if approved, the additional cost to taxpayers would be two to three cents per thousand dollars of assessment.
Public Budget Vote, Tuesday May 20th, 9am-9pm at the school. Please show your support for the Library!!
