Bubble Science at Long Hill Library

On Wednesday, July 27th, Long Hill kids were treated to a special “Bubble Science” program designed by Youth Services librarian Vicky Kulikowski. Bunches of bubbles were generated by the children who used the bubble making wands set up on the patio. Inside the library, kids learned a bit about the science of bubbles by making their own “bubble skeletons,” creating “bubble windows,” and other activities.

The highlight of the day was the swimming pool bubbles. Children lined up and watched as Ms. Kulikowski and an assistant created huge bubbles around kids who were standing on a stool. “I’m so pleased that the kids enjoyed the program,” said Ms. Kulikowski. “One child told me this is the coolest library he’s ever been to!”

The Library’s Summer Reading Club for children birth through teens concludes on August 13th. There is still time to sign up – just stop by the library! Long Hill Township Library is located in the municipal complex at 917 Valley Road in Gillette.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day presented at Long Hill Library

See a movie this Wednesday, July 6 at 2:00 pm, in the deliciously air-conditioned Long Hill Township Library.

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.

Send us a postcard this summer!

Will you be traveling this summer? Our summer reading themes are "One World, Many Stories" and "Novel Destinations." Send us a postcard from your travels, and we'll post it on our front desk! We welcome postcards from far-flung destinations of course, but postcards from scenic spots in New Jersey and the tri-state area are great too.

Our address is: Long Hill Library, 917 Valley Road, Gillette, NJ 07933 (and the price of a postcard stamp these days is 29 cents). We will look forward to hearing from you about your vacation (or stay-cation day trip) adventures!
