Programs galore!



Last week we were very fortunate to have two dynamic speakers present at the library. On Monday, June 27th Dr. Michael Rothman of MD Wellness & Spa lectured about The Power of Nutrition: How the Foods You Are Eating Are Making You Sick. Dr. Rothman spoke to the crowd for over an hour and then fielded questions from the audience as they tried to digest the information about the dangers of processed foods. On Thursday, June 30th, Judith Krall-Russo entertained us with Tea Traditions from Around the World. As she spoke, the audience left New Jersey and traveled the world, learning about all the various accoutrements (see top photo above) used by different cultures in their tea ceremonies. Both presenters are incredibly knowledgeable on their respective topics and we hope to have them back at the library in the near future.

This week on Wednesday, July 6th at 7 PM we will be hosting Dick Handschuch and Sal Marino, co-authors of the book The Beach Bum’s Guide to the Boardwalks of New Jersey. These two gentlemen have strolled all the legendary boardwalks in New Jersey, several times in fact! Check out their story in this Asbury Park Press article from June 27th.
