2024 NATIONAL MEDAL
for Museum and Library Service Finalist
Kids in grades K-8 are invited to take the Winter Reading Challenge! The challenge runs from Sunday, January 12th through Friday, February 28th.
Pick up a BINGO board at the children's desk anytime you're at the library. Get five in a row and select a prize book that you can keep FOREVER! That's because reading is its own reward. :)
Wednesday, January 8 -- 5:00-6:00
Join the staff of NJ4S and create your personal vision board for 2025. A vision board is a poster or collage where you can visually represent your dreams and goals. Reflect on how you'd like to grow and the experiences you're looking for in 2025, and get it all down on an inspiring poster you can hang in your room!
All supplies will be provided, but you can bring photos or other special collage materials that you'd like to incorporate in your project. Light refreshments will be served.
Join us for a special hour exclusively for families with children and teens who experience sensory sensitivities, held before the library opens to the public.
