An American Diplomat in Franco Spain @ Warren Library
Warren Township Library hosts Rutgers Professor Michael A. Rockland on January 23 to talk about his experiences as an American Diplomat in Franco Spain.
Thursday, January 23rd at 7 p.m
Warren Twp Library
2 Mountain Boulevard
Warren, NJ 07059
908-754-5554 ext 64
On Thursday, January 23rd at 7 p.m., author Michael A. Rockland will discuss his experiences as a diplomat at different posts around the world, in particular the time he spent in Spain during the Franco’s dictatorship. He was recently awarded the Governor Richard J. Hughes prize, bestowed by the State Historical Commission, for contributions to New Jersey history and culture. Professor Rockland founded the American Studies Department at Rutgers while serving as Assistant Dean of Douglass College (1969-1972).
The author of thirteen published books, his latest is titled 'An American Diplomat in Franco Spain' and discusses his diplomatic career as a cultural attaché at embassies overseas before coming to New Jersey. One of the key stories in the book is about the day he spent alone with Martin Luther King in Madrid. Other interesting stories concern the near disaster when four American hydrogen bombs, luckily unarmed, rained down on Spain and Rockland's involvement, as a cultural attaché, in mitigating the effects of the crisis. The book also concerns the making of the movie 'Dr. Zhivago' almost entirely shot in Spain, and for which his young son was chosen for the role of Zhivago's son, Sasha. And there are stories about fascism in Spain in those days and the presence of actual Nazis who were warmly greeted by the then Spanish government.
Dr. Rockland has also written extensively for popular magazines such as Philadelphia, Adventure Travel, Explorer's Journal, Big, Preservation, and especially New Jersey Monthly, where he has long been a regular contributor. In addition, he has done considerable work in television production and filmmaking, including a three year stint (1978-1981) as cultural commentator on television's New Jersey Nightly News and co-writing the script for and acting in the P.B.S. film Three Days on Big City Waters (1974).

Warren Library temporary closing as of November 11
Beginning Monday, November 11, the Warren Township Library (a branch of the Somerset County Library System), located at 42 Mountain Boulevard in Warren, New Jersey, will close for approximately four weeks for needed painting and renovations, including the women’s public restroom.
“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:
Staff anticipates welcoming the community back on Saturday, December 7.

Pulitzer Prize Winner Jonathan Schuppe @ Warren Library
On Saturday, October 19th at 2 pm, meet Pulitzer Prize winner, journalist Jonathan Schuppe at the Warren Twp Library. He will talk about his book 'A Chance to Win', which chronicles the incredible true story of Newark's South Ward Little League team, founded by a remarkable man named Rodney Mason. “A man with no legs teaches the forgotten children of Newark how to run for glory', summarized Pulitzer Prize winner Ron Suskind. All the Newark Eagles really needed was to be given an opportunity to succeed; a chance to win.
Written with Schuppe’s careful journalistic eye, 'A Chance to Win' is a vivid portrait of a struggling city and its forgotten people; of boyhood and fatherhood, failure and ambition. It’s a story of unexpected friendships, harsh realities and ultimately, of hope. Jonathan Schuppe is an award-winning journalist who has shared a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey's resignation. He won the coveted J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Prize for A Chance to Win. ‘A Chance to Win’ was reviewed on Sunday by The New York Times http://nyti.ms/1g3de9E .

Murder, Mystery & the FBI with author Andrea Kane @ Warren Library
Thursday, June 27 at 7 pm
Please join us for what will be a lively event, when Andrea Kane, a New York Times bestselling author, discusses her work with the FBI and visits to Quantico.
Andrea's psychological thriller, 'The Girl who Disappeared Twice' became an instant New York Times bestseller, continuing her long string of smash hits. It debuted Forensic Instincts, an eclectic team of maverick investigators, each with different talents and personalities, all with one common bond-a blatant disregard for authority. 'The Line Between Here and Gone' is the encore novel in the Forensic Instincts series. Armed with skills and talents honed by years in the FBI, Special Forces, and training in behavioral and forensic psychology, the Forensic Instincts team solves seemingly impossible cases while walking a fine line between assisting and enraging law enforcement. Her latest novel, 'The Line between Here and Gone' was published in the summer of 2012.
With a worldwide following and novels translated into more than twenty languages, Kane is also the author of eight additional psychological thrillers and fourteen historical romances. She lives in New Jersey with her family, where she is conspiring with Forensic Instincts on new ways to disrupt the status quo.
