School's out, and we hope you are having fun on your summer vacation. We have seen a lot of Long Hill residents stopping by to pick up recommended summer reading - we have all the reading lists from elementary school and high school here at the library.
To celebrate the start of summer, we have also purchased some new video games! Stop by the library to check out our Wii games, including the new Lego Harry Potter, Toy Story 3, Star Wars: Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and more.
Video games may be checked out for 2 weeks. So that all Long Hill residents can enjoy the games, we ask families to check out only two games at a time during the summer months.
Happy gaming!

Get Ready to Read! Long Hill Summer Reading Kickoff is June 26th!
All Long Hill residents ages 2 through grade 5 are invited to join this year’s summer reading club. “Our June 26 Summer Reading Kickoff festivities include a strolling juggler, refreshments, face painting, crafts and balloons from 11:00-1:00. If your family can’t make kickoff day, stop by the library to register and receive your summer reading packet during regular business hours anytime through July 10,” explains Meredith McGuire, Children’s Librarian.
This summer’s theme includes everything fun found in the sea and at the beach! The program runs from June 26 - August 14th and includes art, science, music, nature, and magic programs. “We hope to see many familiar faces as well as new participants this summer,” says Miss Meredith. Participants in the summer reading club can win prizes for reading, attend fun programs, and, if they wish, they can even participate in a readathon to raise money to purchase children’s books in their name.
Long Hill teens and adults need not feel left out of the fun, since the library will also run “Beach Reads” summer reading clubs for them. Library Director Mary Martin explains, “Every time you read or listen to a book, just drop a raffle ticket into the jar at the desk. Each week someone will win a prize. At the end of the summer we will pick a grand prize winner who’ll get a $25 gift card to a bookstore!”
Kids and parents, be sure to stop by the library on Saturday, June 26th or any time until July 10th to register for the Summer Reading Club. Happy Reading!
