These wonderful ladies come to Newark each week to work extra hours while we are short staffed. We are very appreciative of their help and we hope that you’ll stop by and say “hi” to them while they are here. We couldn’t possibly keep up with everything around the library without their help.
Thank you, ladies, for all that you do!

Dear Friends:
At approximately 7:00 PM on Thursday, September 6th, the smallest of our African Dwarf Frogs joined the choir angelic, or to quote Alex, “he croaked.”
He (?) was a good frog, as frogs go. His hobbies were swimming, eating, and floating about. His companions seem to have recovered from the shock quickly and are cheerfully stepping over their fallen companion.
The Library hopes to find a suitable replacement in the near future to fill the now vacant position of Library Frog I.
With deepest sympathy,
Eugene Marangoni
Join us on the third Friday of every month (with the exception of December, when we will meet on the second Friday) for art projects designed for your little one. These art programs are designed for children ages 1-6 and are a lot of fun! We do tend to make a mess, so have your child(ren) wear clothes that can get dirty! For Sept. we will be making bubble art and in Oct. we will make pumpkin decorations. There is no need to register, just drop on by! We will be in the meeting room from 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m.
For more info. contact Mary Ayers: (510) 795-2627 ext. 15 or mcayers@aclibrary.org
