Dear Library Member,
We are thrilled to present the first concert in a classical music series entitled, "
Old Bridge Collegium Musicum Presents,"
on
Sunday, April 22nd at 2pm with a selection of Russian Romantic music by Tchaikovsky, Glazunov and more. Leading the group will be Old Bridge resident and renowned violinist Alexei Yavtuhovich, who was born in Belarus and was a member of the prestigious Belarus State Concert Orchestra and Belarus String Quartet. Joining Yavtuhovich will be respected musicians
Dr. Eugenia Goldman on violin, Joel Rudin on viola and Dr. Tomasz Rzeczycki on cello. The group plans three other classical concerts at the Library later this year. We are fortunate to have musicians of this caliber in our community, and I hope many of you come and enjoy what promises to be an outstanding performance. As always, we ask you to bring a non-perishable unexpired donation for the Old Bridge Food Pantry to this free event.
I would also like to mention that we be hosting another
Volunteer Fair on
Saturday, April 21st from 11-3pm. Last year's Fair was very successful, drawing many local organizations and interested volunteers. It's a great way to explore the opportunities to give back to the community, in one convenient time and location. If your agency or organization is interested in participating, please email our Adult Services Supervisor
Nicole DeMatteo.
Have a spectacular week. Hope to see you at the Library!

Loyola University Chicago Library
Loyola University Chicago's Richard J. Klarchek Library was named to
Architectural Digest's 2017 list of "18 Stunning University Libraries Around the World You Need to See."
The library, built in 2007 by local firm Solomon Cordwell Buenz, gives students unparalleled views of Lake Michigan. This unconventional library is completely free of books; instead, its digital reading rooms connect students with information while they relax in arm chairs facing the waterfront tides.
