Spices and Herbs in Indian Cooking

 

*New* Foreign Film Matinees

 

Sensory Storytime

 

Dear Library Member,
 
It is the Library's pleasure to present Spices and Herbs in Indian Cooking on Wednesday, April 29 at 7 pm.  Shyamala Sharma, Master Gardener and health enthusiast, will show how these spices and herbs can be used beneficially for your health and your palate.  The varieties are simply mind-boggling.
 
Our new Foreign Film Matinees will start on Monday, May 4 with the classic Monsoon Wedding depicting romantic entanglements during a traditional Punjabi wedding in Delhi.  On May 18, Mostly Martha will be screened, a romantic film about a workaholic chef who is forced to adjust to major changes in her personal and professional life that are beyond her control. Prize-winning foreign films will be showcased every first and third Monday of the month at 1:30 pm.  Let us know if you have a request!
 
Don't forget about Sensory Storytime, a storytime geared to children ages 3 to 7 with special needs.  It will take place this Saturday, May 2 from 2 to 3 pm.   Please register online or call 732-721-5600 x5028 to register.  Caregiver participation is required.
 
Have a safe and wonderful week and see you in the Library! 


Regards,
Nancy Cohen, Library Director
