How does it work?

Meet a Future Doctor!

Thinking about a career in medicine?  Join us for Day of Service, an exciting annual event when first-year medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School visit the library to share health and wellness information about summer safety and meet library patrons.  This is a great opportunity for kids and teens who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine to stop by and talk with the med students about the educational paths they took to get to this point!  (Please note, medical students are able to share their personal experiences, but they are not college or career couns

Teen Process Art

Process art is an artform that emphasizes the process of creating rather than the end result.

By staying fully present, process art shuts off the “overthinking” part of the brain and offers benefits similar to meditation. Because of this, process art can be a powerful tool for art therapy.

Join us at EB Create to explore process art and experience the benefits for yourself!
