Healthy Habits - Happy Kids Multilingual Storytime

Would you like your children to be healthy and happy? Join our fun and educational storytime to help your kids establish healthy habits early in childhood.

Each month we explore a different health topic through songs (in English or German), cartoons (in Russian), storytime (in English, German or Russian), games or crafts.

In January we focus on Dental Hygiene and Friendship. Our teen volunteers will perform a puppet show about an African crocodile who met a new friend and learned a very useful new skill.

Pathways to Recovery

If you’ve been impacted by opioids, it can be difficult to reenter the workforce or change careers. The NJDOL provides employment assistance to those with a personal history of opioid use or who have a friend of family member with a history of opioid use, so they can reenter the workforce. The program’s goal is to provide participants with skills and training to support their transition into employment.  Pathways to Recovery offers services to the following counties: Atlantic, Camden, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, Union, and Warren.  This service is FREE.
