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.

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!
School is out – summer is officially here! Why not stop by the library to say hello, pick up a few good books. Sit, read and enjoy these steamy summer days!
Be sure to visit Ms. Kim to see what activities has planned for the kids.
