Summer Reading
Program Begins!

The Library’s Summer Reading Program starts on Wednesday, June 24, and ends on Wednesday, August 12.  There will be special programs for adults, teens, and children.  Come join the fun!

We'll be celebrating the first day of the Children's program -- "Be Creative @ Your Library" -- with a Petting Zoo, from 11 a.m. to noon.  Come meet and pet some furry friends!  Click here to see the calendar of events for the summer.

The Teen program -- "Express Yourself @ Your Library" -- celebrates its first week with a giveaway.  Login for the first time this summer, and get an Express Yourself canvas bag!  Perfect for carting an armful of books, magazines, and music to the beach or on vacation!  And be sure to check here to keep up on the great summer events we have planned.

The Adult Summer Reading Club -- "Master the Art of Reading" -- will kick off with a reception starting at 6 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. The Maestro Quartet, a Baroque string quartet, will perform from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.  Find more information about the summer's events here.

Need Help? -- Get Help!

As the New Jersey economy weakens, unemployment figures increase and family incomes shrink, the New Jersey State Library has launched a new Web site designed to make it easier for residents to connect to state programs, services and agencies that can help them during these tough economic times.  The site, http://gethelp.njlibraries.org, has categories listing Work Tools, Financial Tools, Housing Tools, Health Tools and Parental Tools, as well as Tools for Seniors.  Users will find resources to help them pay their bills, avoid foreclosure, get job assistance, or file for Medicaid.
