Youth Art Month display @ the South River Public Library

Congratulations to Mrs. Grimm's High School Art 3 class on their creative transformation of shoes using the addititve and subtractive sculptural methods to disguise and change the shoe into something else. The original shapes of the shoes were taken into consideration for the inspirational and creative designs that resulted. The works are entitled, "Shoes in Another Life".

Be sure to stop by the public library anytime throughout the month of March to enjoy the work of these talented artists. Sculptures are on display by the following high school students: Christopher Dowd, Dan Hartrum, Jasmine Pearson, Alex Gomes, Dino Silva, Johnny Domingues, Megan Atkinson, DonnaMarie Smith, Mike Witte, Jessica Wallace, Adriana Millan, Dan Andre, Stephane Lizardo, and Jonathan Separvoich.

It's a regular LOVE FEST in February ...

Andrea: "Love is all around us" as February brings us "Love Your Library Month" coupled with our Patron Appreciation month. The Library is bedecked with hearts and "love"ly quotes to help get you in the mood. So exactly how can you love your library?

Dawn: Book lovers have an easy way to express their love of books and libraries. The New Jersey State Library is partnering with Barnes and Noble and the New Jersey Library Association to promote "Love Your Library" month all during the month of February. The plan is simple: Pick up a book fair voucher at our local library, or print one online from the New Jersey State Library Youth Services or the New Jersey Library Association site, or just ask your Barnes and Noble cashier for one upon checkout. All Barnes and Noble locations throughout NJ are participating in this month long celebration. A percentage of every purchase from every customer will be donated to help raise funds to benefit the children and young adults who participate in the 2008 Summer Reading Programs. The theme of the 2008 Summer Reading Program is "Catch the Reading Bug". Our very own South River Library wants to show our patrons how much we love them back. What can we do to send a little message of thanks and appreciation to all our great library users?

Susan: As a little thank you, we are giving each patron who borrows 3 or more items during a library visit a coupon redeemable for 1 free DVD rental (Limit 1 coupon per day). You can visit as often as you'd like, and we really do hope you become avid library users. If there is anything you need or any way we can be of help, please just ask. We are here for you!
