The Long Hill Township Public Library presents “Conquer Clutter” on Saturday, January 28 at 1:00. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions then this event is for you!
Have you wasted time searching your house for important papers? Do you have “important papers” such as receipts, old income tax information, and bank statements but have no clue how long you should keep them? Do you have items you no longer want but don’t want to throw them way and have no idea where you can donate them? Or are you overwhelmed by all the papers that come home with your kids from school?
Find the answers to these questions and more on Saturday, January 28 at 1:00pm when the Long Hill Library hosts Professional Organizer Linda Anders. The first half of Conquer Clutter focuses on eliminating “paper piles” while the second half focuses on finding & reclaiming unused space.
Register for this FREE program by calling the library at 908-647-2088. The Long Hill Township Public Library is located at 917 Valley Road, Gillette NJ 07933.

Cars have changed. So have the traffic rules, driving conditions, and the roads you travel every day. Some drivers have never looked back since they got their first driver's licenses, but even the most experienced benefit from brushing up on their driving skills.
Why take a course? You can expect to learn current rules of the road, defensive driving techniques, and how to operate your vehicle more safely in today's increasingly challenging driving environment. You'll learn adjustments to accommodate common age-related changes in vision, hearing, and reaction time.
Completion of the course could lead to savings on auto insurance and possible reduction of driver’s license points.
Sound good? An AARP Defensive Driving course will be held at the Long Hill Township Library. The course is 6 hours in length and will be held over two Tuesdays, October 18 and 25 from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
Participants must attend both sessions to receive credit for the course.
The course will be conducted by AARP instructor Willy Parolari and is geared toward drivers age 50 and older (although drivers of all ages are welcome to attend.)
The course costs $12 for AARP members and $14 for nonmembers; participants must reserve their space and attend both sessions.

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and the Long Hill Township Library wants you to be ready!
We’re offering a course in Pirate, from our partner Mango Languages, through the end of September.
Pirate is bold, brazen, chock full of eccentric insults, and incredibly fun to speak. If that's not enough reason to learn it, we don’t know what is!
Mango is free at the Long Hill Township Library. Stop in at the library to start learning Pirate or visit us online at www.longhilllibrary.org
If you enjoy learning new languages, you can learn even more from Mango at our website!
Have fun ye fellow scallywags!

Long Hill Library presents Murder is a Laughing Matter: Humor in Mysteries
on Thursday, September 22 at 7:00 pm.
Attention mystery fans! New Jersey writer, Jeff Cohen, will be at the Long Hill Township Library on Thursday, September 22, at 7:00 pm.
Jeff is the author of intentionally funny murder mysteries in the Double Feature and Aaron Tucker series. He’s been writing since graduating from Rutgers College and has had articles published in The New York Times, USA Weekend, TV Guide, Premiere, Writer’s Digest, American Baby, Hollywood Scriptwriter and many others.
Jeff’s book, For Whom the Minivan Rolls, was published by Bancroft Press in 2002. It was followed in the Aaron Tucker series by A Farewell to Legs and As Dog Is My Witness. The Double Feature Mystery series from Berkley Prime Crime began with Some Like It Hot-Buttered, which introduced Elliot Freed and his all-comedy movie theater, Comedy Tonight. The series continued with It Happened One Knife and A Night at the Operation.
Under the name E.J. Copperman, Jeff writes the Haunted Guesthouse Mystery series, which began with Night of the Living Deed and continues with An Uninvited Ghost. The third book in the series, Old Haunts, is scheduled for publication in 2012.
Come on out to meet Jeff. You’re sure to learn a lot about mysteries and writing and oh yes, laughing.
The event is free but registration is requested. Please call or stop in at the library to sign-up.

We'll be traveling to 1930s London to watch Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day starring Frances McDormand.
Plot: A late-'30s-era London governess hired to work in the home of a high-profile nightclub chanteuse gets a taste of the good life when she is assigned the task of sorting out the singer's many unseemly affairs in a period comedy starring Frances McDormand and adapted from the novel by Winifred Watson. Hilarity ensues.
