This Friday evening is the Annual Backyard Event! Grab your chairs or blankets and reserve your spot behind the Children’s Library. Have your face painted, take a bounce in the bounce house and be entertained by Shobo & Shady.

A certain pup frequently seen welcoming children into the library is hoping to secure a ribbon or two at the Barks for Books Dog Show!

Come out to cheer on your favorite furry friends as they display their many talents.

Continuing…

And the popular Writers Workshop continues on Thursday afternoons in the Children’s Library!

Summer is just around the corner but first…

May is such a busy time of the year. And it’s a very busy time at the library! Here are just a few events to add to your schedule.

Ms Kim has been encouraging our young authors to start writing their first novel in a Weekly Writers Workshop. This week a local author, Gene J. Miller, has been invited to talk about his experience writing for kids.

Everyone’s invited, so if you’ve been seriously thinking about writing and publishing your own book, come out and join the fun! It’s sure to be interesting.

Welcome Spring!

Finally! It’s been a rough winter! Hopefully, now we can put all that ice and snow out of our minds and look ahead to warmer temperatures. It’s time to admire the color and beauty of spring: daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, cherry and dogwood blossoms. Time to think about playing outside and gardening! Or, sitting outside with a good book in the sun and just relaxing.

Be sure to stop by the library to say hello and check out a book for that relaxing read outdoors. And, while there check out the beautifully restored floors and fixtures.

In the Children’s Library Miss Kim has been thinking about the summer reading kickoff and the Memorial Day Parade. This summer the theme is Unearth a Story which automatically makes you think of DINOSAURS! So of course she is looking for dinosaur volunteers between ages 1-100 to join the library in the parade. Give her a call (609-859-9002) if your young Tyrannosaurus rex or Brachiosaurus are interested.

The Children’s Library is looking for young authors in 3rd – 5th grade, to join a spring writers workshop.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Perfectly Preserved

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.

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!
