I am pleased to announce the start of the Library's pilot program, Books By Mail.  If you are temporarily or permanently homebound or facility bound, and an Old Bridge resident, you may qualify for this program.  We will mail you books in a reusable nylon pouch with all postage paid by the Library.  The books will have a three-week loan period and may be renewed if no one is waiting for them.  Please call me (x5014) or our Circulation Department supervisor, at 732-721-5600 x5012 to see if you qualify.

We've just added Insectropolis to our Museum Pass Program!  View thousands of beautiful and bizarre exotic insects from all over the world. Play bug games on touch-screen computers. Pretend you are a termite as you crawl through a mudtube. Watch ants forage for food and safely get up close to an observation hive to see busy bees. Your visit is not complete unless you touch a bug! Touch a live tarantula, scorpion, millipede, and a hissing cockroach before you leave.  Insectropolis has over a dozen exhibit areas that are sure to educate and entertain.  Call us at 732-721-5600 x5010 to make a reservation for the Insectropolis pass!
