Love was in the Air
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
The New Jersey State Library partnered with Barnes & Noble and the New Jersey Library Association to sponsor “Love Your Library” month in February 2008 to once again help fund the Statewide Summer Reading Program at all public libraries in New Jersey. The funds raised from the month-long event benefited the children and young adults who participate in the 2008 Summer Reading Program.
Many libraries participated in a “Best Display” contest to promote the event. The Ridgefield Park library took the top prize, but received stiff competition from many others, including runners-up North Brunswick Library and the Evesham Branch of the Burlington County Library.
