JOHNSTOWN Johnstown Public Library officials say Librarian Robert Weatherby couldn’t have come at a better time for the facility both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now the 38 S. Market St. library and its patrons are waiting like everyone for things to get back to normal, but one gets the feeling Weatherby will keep plugging away.
“We love Robert,” says April Meyer, whose two children are part of a Dungeons & Dragons online group run by Weatherby.

GLOVERSVILLE The Gloversville Public Library will ask voters to approve a $50,000 increase to the annual tax levy in May.
The Gloversville Public Library Board of Trustees on Tuesday approved a motion setting the library’s proposed tax levy for the 2021-22 fiscal year at $503,695, representing an 11 percent increase over the $453,695 annual tax levy currently in place.
Under the proposed tax levy increase, taxpayers whose properties are assessed at $100,000 would pay a total of approximately $72.75 in annual library taxes, an increase of approximately $7.22 per year. The final tax rate under the tax levy would be set by the Gloversville Enlarged School District in August once final equalization rates are provided by the state.
