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
