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.

JOHNSTOWN Dr. Brandon Beck of Westchester County thinks everyone literally every human being walking the face of the Earth has untapped potential.
And the 2000 Johnstown High School graduate hopes his new book that’s currently climbing up the Amazon charts helps them realize that. Mixed with stories of famous people and personal anecdotes, the publication is catching people’s attention.
“I try to cast as wide a net net as possible,” the 39-year-old Beck says.
In December, the Sleepy Hollow teacher published his first book “Unlocking Unlimited Potential.” Beck is currently a fifth grade dual language English teacher for the Ossining Union Free School District. He is also a professor at Manhattanville College’s Foundation of Bilingual Education.

Valentine’s Day is one of the most important days of the year for grade school students. After all, there’s nothing sweeter than passing out goodie bags and cards to your peers.
That’s why several local schools and districts are finding ways to keep the holiday, and its many in-school celebrations, going for students who opted for in-person learning this year amid the pandemic.
“I remember being an elementary kid and coming home with the big envelope that you made out of paper,” said Bob Kraemer, principal of Johnstown’s Warren Street Elementary. “And you stapled it and filled it with all your Valentine’s Day cards. It’s just a tradition that elementary kids should have. And we didn’t want to lose it.”
