Is there a book you're hoping to read? Is there a book you want to tell everyone about -- or do you want to see what other people are reading? Join us for a Silent Book Club! We will be reading silently, but in each other's company.

On Monday, October 26, children, tweens, and teens ages 8-17 are welcome to join Miss Lauren at her Silent Book Club. Ten minutes before the program ends, we will talk about what we are reading over a small snack.

For adults, our Robbinsville and Ewing Branches also offer Silent Book Clubs!

Silent Book Clubs are a place where you can relax, read, and meet other readers. You may even find your next read!

Last week, our Robbinsville Branch had a special storytime with the Robbinsville Fire Department! After being read to by real firefighters, children learned what a firefighter looks like with all their gear on, played a game, and had a tour of the fire engine. We also learned the difference between a fire truck and a fire engine (one has a ladder on top!).

Thank you to the Robbinsville Township Fire Department for teaching us fire safety and keeping our community safe. 🚒❤
