Libraries Show What’s Growing in Somerset County
Agriculture plays an important role in Somerset County’s history. Even as the area has become increasingly suburbanized, over 8,000 acres of farmland have been preserved in the County, sometimes within steps of a subdivision.
To celebrate and recognize the role of agriculture during March, the Somerset County Agriculture Development Board (SCADB) is showing tools and artifacts used in farming, at several Somerset County Library System Branches (SCLS). Displays are now on view at the Bound Brook Memorial, Bridgewater and Manville Public Libraries through March 31. The Bound Brook Memorial Library will host a children’s event, “Fun in Farming” at 7 pm on March 27. Freeholder Mark Caliguire will be the guest reader during storytime, along with other activities.
“The Somerset County Agricultural Development Board (SCADB) is very excited to be working with the Somerset County Library System to show the extent and importance of agriculture in our County. We hope the public will learn about this very important industry through our displays and events in honor of National Agriculture Day,” Mark W. Kirby chair of the SCADB notes.

Combat Paper at SCLS
After active duty military personnel return from the battlefield, many face a challenging transition to civilian life. Combat Paper NJ, a project of the Branchburg-based Printmaking Center of New Jersey, uses art as a conversation starter between veterans so that they can begin to recover from their conflict experiences. David Keefe, an artist who coordinates the project and is a former Marine with six years of military experience, spoke about the project and its impact on May 28 during a reception at the Bridgewater Library, a part of the Somerset County Library System (SCLS).
The project encourages veterans to meet for a once weekly session where uniforms are cut up and put through a process to create paper. Once the paper is dried, it is then used to artistically depict each veteran’s story using printmaking techniques. Examples of the art created during the Sunday afternoon sessions were also on display in the library, during the month of May.
The project continues to grow as a powerful tool allowing veterans to work, discuss and then create artistic expressions about their military experiences. Through sharing their experiences with peers and ultimately with the public via exhibitions and speaking forums, veterans are moving through and past the isolation and emotions and forging ahead into their civilian lives.
