The meet and greet on February 4 will include general information about the Cooperstown area and institutions, with a special focus on the Village Library of Cooperstown in celebration of Library Lovers’ Month. Area residents are encouraged to attend and learn about the library’s activities, particularly family crafts and stories. Local musician Luke Gheen will provide entertainment, and refreshments are being sponsored by the Library Trustees and the Friends of the Village Library Board.
