April Programs for Adults @ Warren Twp Library
Warren Twp Library - 42 Mountain Boulevard, Warren, NJ 07059 - Phone: 908-754-5554
The Warren Twp Library will be offering over ten programs geared toward adults during the month of April. We begin with two gardening presentations: Spring Vegetable Garden Adventures (Tuesday, April 10 @ 7 pm), and Do-It-Yourself Rain Garden (Thursday, April 12 @ pm). Our programs about health-related topics are always very popular.
Learn how to improve your memory on Saturday, April 14 @ 1 pm with "The Memory Switch" presented by Matthew Goerke, leading expert in the Memory Development field. We continue with another meditation program with HypnoCounselor Susan Lembo on Tuesday, April 17 @ 11 am. Find out how to prepare your body, with Integrative Nutrition, for a smooth seasonal transition and a happy, healthy spring with our program "Spring into Wellness" on Wednesday, April 25 @ 7 pm.
"Theater @ the Warren Library": "A Meeting of the Macabre" will take place on Saturday, April 21 @ 2 pm. On the 100th anniversary of Bram Stoker's death, two actors from the Traveling Literary Theater will portray Bram Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe for an hour of conversation and dramatic readings, including "The Raven" and "Dracula". No latecomers will be allowed in once the performance starts.
Another presentation with a literary flair will be "Poe, Hoboken, and the Body in the Hudson: NJ & the Birth of the Modern Mystery" on Thursday, April 26 @ 7 pm. Edgar Allan Poe, the father of the modern mystery, was inspired by the real-life murder of Mary Rogers, whose body was found floating in the Hudson near Hoboken. He had recently published “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” introducing his sleuth C. Auguste Dupin. The tale of Mary Rogers provided much fodder for the tabloids of the day and her murderer was never identified. But the case was ready made to become Poe’s “The Mystery of Marie Roget.” Join mystery writer Peggy Ehrhardt to learn about this chapter in NJ's literary history.
"The Basics of Buying and Selling in eBay" will be our last program of the month, on Saturday, April 28 @ 1pm with eBay instructor Cindy Gilbert. She will provide the basic tools and knowledge to start dealing in the biggest online marketplace. Learn how to open a seller's account, research, price your merchandise, create and monitor your listings, complete transactions and collect your payment.

The Bound Brook Library presents...
Emily Dickinson
Thursday, March 15 at 7:00 p.m.
Though few of her poems were published during her lifetime, Emily Dickinson became one of America’s most prolific and well-known poets. Her poetry is esoteric and haunting, at times hard to comprehend, but always containing a message, opinion, or statement of who she was and how she saw the world. We will discuss the life experiences and the social world that created both the woman and the poet.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is requested. Call (732) 356-0043 to sign up or click on http://www.libraryinsight.net/eventdetails.asp?jx=jbp&lmx=246112 to register online.
Performed in period costume by Trish Chambers.

The Mary Jacobs Library Presents Year of the Dragon: Chinese Culture, Myths and Legends
Tuesday, March 13 @ 7 pm
Mary Jacobs Library
64 Washington Street
Rocky Hill, NJ 08553
Phone: 609-924-7073
Experience a powerpoint presentation on traditional Chinese culture that will cover information on Chinese history, literature and dance at the Mary Jacobs Library on Tuesday, March 13 at 7:00 pm.
For 5,000 years, Chinese culture was heralded as a divine gift. Its values of benevolence, honor, etiquette, wisdom, and sincerity were perpetuated for generations and dynasties, all the way into the contemporary era.
The presentation aims to bridge an understanding of the ancient Chinese civilization with the modern world, and thereby share some of the most classic stories in Chinese history. The presentations uses Shen Yun Performing Arts and Chinese dance as a cultural lens, both to meaningfully bring this culture into the modern day, and to explain how the virtues of Chinese history are being perpetuated by modern artists. This will surely be an educational and inspiring session.
Covered in the presentation will be the essence of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture and civilization; as well as storytelling through classical Chinese dance and music.
Registration is required.To register visit the Mary Jacobs Library Adult Services Desk, call 609-924-7073 ext 4 or visit http://www.libraryinsight.net/eventdetails.asp?jx=mjp&lmx=244973
