September is National Library Card Sign-up Month

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month. We welcome all Long Hill residents age 5 and up to stop by the library and sign up for your free library card. Kids who sign up for a new card will get a goodie bag. But library cards aren't just for kids -- teens and adults who sign up for a library card this month will get a free book!

Your library card gives you access to a world of resources, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's the smartest card in your wallet. If you don't have one, what are you waiting for?

MEET THE AUTHOR at the LONG HILL LIBRARY

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.
