Happy Veterans Day! May we never forget what our veterans have done for us. Today is the day we salute them!
Veterans Day was first celebrated as Armistice Day, the day marked the end of World War I, formally recognized on the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918.
Sundays are back! Need something on the weekend? Well, come on in!
Why wait for Caturday when you can have Whisker Wednesday today? (And really, who are we to make the world wait for Cam's glamor shot??)
Meet Colonia native Afia Atakora virtually November 17 at 7PM over Zoom as she discusses her debut novel Conjure Women. Conjure Women is a sweeping story that brings the world of the South before and after the Civil War vividly to life. Spanning eras and generations, it tells of the story of three unforgettable women. Get a look into how she researched the book, hear an excerpt, and ask her the questions you've been dying to ask about her riveting book.
Please join guest speaker Kenneth Vercammen, Managing Attorney from Kenneth Vercammen & Associates, as he presents "Wills, Estate Planning & Probate." This program will be presented on Zoom. Registration is required.
Starting today, sign up for our adult grab-and-go craft at the Fords branch! Head over to our calendar to register and secure your spot, and then come pick it up on Monday, November 23rd.
We'll miss you Mr. Trebek. Thank you for all your hard work. You were essential on our tvs and in our hearts. Learn more - https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/08/entertainment/alex-trebek-jeopardy-host-death-trnd/index.html

It's FURsday again and that brings us to comrade Bruno! Just look at him. What a ham (short for hambsome boye).
Two weeks from today, we're back in business! Teen Advisory Group is where all of you in grades 8 - 12 come to hang out, catch up, and tell us what to do! We'll be talking programming ideas, future initiatives, volunteer opportunities, and more. Whether you're new to TAG or a member of the old crew, you're welcome to come-- and you'll get a volunteer hour out of it!
UPDATE-- Service has been restored to the Main Library's elevator. The ramp will now be closed again. Please resume entering the library from our ground floor entrance. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your patience!
Join us for a new, different kind of book club. Instead of reading one specific book - join us for an informal chat about the movies, books or tv shows you have seen or watched (binged watched) recently that you loved. Or, tell us what and why you strongly disliked something. This is a great way to connect with other readers and get new book recommendations!
Cool news from us and Mayor McCormac: Woodbridge's eighth rain garden will be at the Main Library! Ground has broken and construction has started on the project, which will also be Rutgers' 50th rain garden, just in time for the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. This project will serve as an innovative engineering solution to help capture and treat storm-water run-off-- and it'll look great, too.
Happy #Caturday from the typically elusive but occasionally very photogenic Cam. (Short for Camo/Camouflage Cat, for good reasons.)
If you're already registered for the Fords Halloween Garland, don't forget to come pick it up on Tuesday!
It's FURsday again! Here comes Abbey, a very distinguished Olde English dame!
