Tween

Kids in grades K-8 are invited to take the Winter Reading Challenge!  The challenge runs from Sunday, January 12th through Friday, February 28th. 

Pick up a BINGO board at the children's desk anytime you're at the library.  Get five in a row and select a prize book that you can keep FOREVER!  That's because reading is its own reward.  :)

Tweens in grade 3 and up can join us to make a no-sew fleece pillow.  Choose from three designs (an avocado, a dinosaur, or a slice of pizza), while supplies last.

Limited space!  Please pick up at ticket at the children's desk beginning at 10:45 if you wish to attend.

Kids in 1st grade and up, with an adult partner, can join staff from Safe Kids Middlesex at RWJ Barnabas Health to learn about food safety, practice safe knife skills, and make an easy, delicious snack.

Children must be in 1st grade or older.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  Younger children will not be admitted.

Space is limited to 10 children, with an adult. Free tickets will be given out at the children's desk beginning at 4:30 PM on the day of the event.

Join the staff of NJ4S and create your personal vision board for 2025.  A vision board is a poster or collage where you can visually represent your dreams and goals.  Reflect on how you'd like to grow and the experiences you're looking for in 2025, and get it all down on an inspiring poster you can hang in your room!

All supplies will be provided, but you can bring photos or other special collage materials that you'd like to incorporate in your project.  Light refreshments will be served.

For families with kids in kindergarten and up.
