Library: Spring and Summer Plans

Local History Collection & Resource Room - Coming This Summer!

Our Local History Collection & Resource Room is coming along nicely! This room, managed by the Library and a group of volunteers, will have historical items from Middlesex Borough displayed for viewing, studying, and research.  In addition, an online database containing thousands of newspaper articles, programs, flyers, pictures, and MORE, will be available to access from anywhere. Thank you to the diligent work of the Library Director, Reference Librarians, and dedicated volunteers, the history of Middlesex Borough will be preserved for the community to learn, read, and enjoy for decades to come! Keep your eyes on the Library website for more information about the Local History Collection & Resource Room, coming this summer!

The signs from Veterans Day as well as any new signs, will be displayed on the Library lawn starting Thursday, May 30, throughout Memorial Day weekend.

Adult Programming Announcements

Spring and Summer programming will be announced very soon on our website! So far we have another paint and sip program planned, as well as a Quilling with Chrissy program in the works! It’s going to be a crafty and artsy spring and summer season; we can’t wait to spend it with you!

Children’s & Teens Announcements

Summer reading is upon us, and we cannot wait to have another amazing, fun filled summer with our Middlesex patrons! We’re working on our gameboard and different activities, so stay tuned! Who knows what magic we’ll be cooking up this year – perhaps a tie dye party, or another Swiftie Soiree…keep your eyes peeled!

Volunteer Hours

Does your teen/tween need volunteer hours? Our formal Summer Tween/Teen Volunteer Program will also be running again this summer – this is the only opportunity for you/your teen/tween, to volunteer with the Library! Announcements about orientation, applications, will be at the end of April so that you can plan. Our volunteer program has run with 60+ participants for the past 4 years; it’s thanks to these amazing and awesome volunteers that our Summer Reading programs are SUCH a success! We’re so grateful and can’t wait to add more friends to the summer fun!

In the meantime, we will have some fun programs this Spring, including a Peeps taste test, and a visit from two mini therapy horses!
