Hope

It has been a long winter: long nights, grey, cold, rainy, sad, isolating, endless.

But spring always returns. We are reminded that we come alive again by new growth, color, singing birds, longer days, warm sun, neighbors emerging, and happy hearts.

This is the cycle of life. Our dark days are enlightened by the hope of a new day.
When winter seems endless, spring impels us forward to joy.

Hope will never disappoint.

EB Repair Cafe

Sunday, June 8, 1:00-4:00pm

The East Brunswick Public Library, the East Brunswick Sustainability Task Force, and Alpha Delta Kappa want you to keep still usable items out of landfills. They are holding their second Repair Café at the library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) on Sunday, June 8 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
A Repair Café is a community-based initiative to promote repairing household items instead of throwing them out. Community members can bring in items in need of repair to be fixed on the spot thanks to the help from volunteer repairers.

Panic

As a child, not realizing that seeing 10 seconds into the future during moments of panic wasn’t the norm, Julia couldn't forgive her father for his own murder.

Now as she neared home, a prickle of unease, unfamiliar creaks and voices coming from inside. A vision - shouts, hands, a struggle.

What Teens Today are Really Like

"Dana, could you go whisper to Ms. Perez (the adored math teacher) that I could use a hug?" (She’s a mom friend who "gets it.") It was a rough week - back and forth to the hospital. Room 310’s door burst open - twelve teenagers with wide smiles, who had overheard, enveloped me. Openly, and true to character, I cried. My students teach me, every day, in all the ways that truly matter.
