Summer isn't over until you stop in to try a Kindle!
|
|
Kindles are available in all Woodbridge Public Library branches with thanks to a generous donation from Amazon to communities that are home to warehouses and Amazon associates. "The good thing about the summer reading programs in Woodbridge is that you can read whatever you want over the summer. If you like dinosaurs, sports, cars--anything you like," said Mayor McCormac, who handed out Kindles to ten children and their families.
|
|
|
"Amazon is a great supporter of childhood literacy,and we believe that Kindles are a great way to make reading fun and interactive," stated Avik Saha, Director of Operations at Amazon's fulfillment center in Robbinsville.

A new season for the
Woodbridge Garden Club
|
|
The Woodbridge Garden Club will have its “Welcoming New Members” meeting on Tuesday, September 12 at 6:45pm in the Iselin branch of the Woodbridge Public Library. This meeting will be the first meeting of the 2017-2018 calendar year and will include a presentation of the “Herb of the Year, Cilantro”.
The Woodbridge Garden Club was organized October 2, 1969 and federated in the Garden Club of NJ in October 1973. In May 1974, the WGC and the Lions Club of Woodbridge created the Garden-For-The-Blind and Physically Handicapped Wall of Senses, located adjacent to the parking lot of the Iselin branch of the Woodbridge Free Public Library. The garden is certified as a Monarch Way Station by Monarch Watch and is a National Wildlife Federation Wildlife Habitat. For more information about us, please check us out on Facebook.
