This Week at Your Library: March 16
|
Dear Library Member,
The Old Bridge Public Library is honored to be the recipient of a beautiful granite sculpture from New Jersey artist, Blaise Batko. Mr. Batko also created the impressive and inspiring September 11th Memorial sculpture for the Township of Old Bridge. We are privileged to have one of Mr. Batko's works of art in our Library. It has been placed in front of our garden windows for all to enjoy. Mr. Batko received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Library's Board of Trustees this past Wednesday evening (see photo below).

Take Apart Day Coming Saturday, March 21
Back by popular demand, the Library is holding Take Apart Day again this Saturday from 2-4 pm, to help celebrate the first annual NJMakersDay. Generously sponsored by Atlantic TV, Take Apart Day is designed to help people gain familiarity with hand tools and learn how machines are designed and work. In the process, you can create your own sculptures from machine parts. All ages are welcome. You can register through the link below.
Let me know what you want from the Library! Read and be well.
Nancy Cohen
Library Director
