Perfectly Preserved

/ vincentownlib / Leave a comment

Absolutely beautiful, amazing, lovely! These are just of few of the comments from our patrons as they enter. Always lovely, the library has now been painstakingly restored to her original beauty. Be sure to visit and see for yourself and let us know what you think.

There are just a few things left to do, but the work is done and the Adult Library is open. If you haven’t been by, stop in and see us. And save the date, May 9th at Arts in the Village Market Day we will be celebrating the completion and all our supporters like you.

Library Preservation Continues

I’m sure that you have noticed that the New Jersey Historic Trust sign for the preservation of the library is still up. Those of you with eagle eyes may have also noticed that the decorative boxes on the downspouts are missing… Why? Because we are not done yet! Phase 2 of the grant work is about to begin in earnest. Stay tuned. We think you are going to like it.

Officially, summer isn’t over until the autumnal equinox on September 22, 2025, but Labor Day marks the end of summer since temperatures cool, vacations are over and kids are returning to school. A new season begins, FALL, one everyone loves! And fall is always full of fun activities for the whole family.

Mark your calendar – the Library’s Annual Fall Art Exhibit and Sale is just around the corner. If you’ve never attended definitely try. The library looks absolutely stunning adorned with the artwork, and you just might find that perfect painting!

Join us for our annual local art exhibit and sale— Friday, September 26th from 5-8pm with a wine and cheese reception, Saturday, September 27th 1-5pm. Local scenes painted by local artists available for purchase. All are welcome, admission is free. A portion of the proceeds benefits the library.

That’s just what they did this evening at the Vincentown Library’s 4th Annual Frog Jump! Competition was fierce, 24 entries (!) but there’s always one little guy that jumps a “great” distance to take 1st Place. And those frog catching stories were great! There are great authors among us!

Since school is nearing and end for the year, we stopped by to ask Ms. Kim what plans she has for summer programs. She had a “few” ideas!
