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.
Questions? Call SCLS at (908) 526-4016 or visit the website at http://www.sclsnj.org.
