“You know how disruptive it is to paint your house,” commented System Director Brian Auger, “this is much worse as all the wall-mounted shelving and the books on them, have to come down first. We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but could not find any other way to get the work done quickly and safely.”
As a result of the areas being renovated and painted, and the fact that there will be no staff in the building, the book drop will be closed. Materials can be returned to any SCLS branch; the closest branches are Watchung, North Plainfield, Bound Brook and Bridgewater. Staff has been advising patrons to change the pick-up location for their holds to a nearby branch or to “freeze” them until December 7.
The following programs will take place at the Warren Court Room, next to the Library:
- Saturday, November 16 @ 2 pm. “Meeting Eleanor Roosevelt” portrayed by actress Linda Kenyon.
- Monday, November 18 @ 6:30 pm. Parent/Teacher Program—Let the Brain Games Begin! Toys and Games to Boost your Brain Power.
- Wednesday, November 20 @ 7 pm. Identity Theft, presented by Kevin Lynch, from the Society of Financial Awareness.
- Saturday, November 23 @ 2 pm. The Music of the British Invasion, performed by the group “Carnaby Street!” led by Chris Roselle.
- Wednesday, December 4 @ 7 PM– Teen Program –Finding Truth in YA Fiction—A Panel of YA Authors.
Staff anticipates welcoming the community back on Saturday, December 7.
