Attention Radio Fans, History Buffs & Antique Lovers!
The Long Hill Township Library invites you to view antique and vintage radios on display at the library through January 2012.
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club (NJARC) has graciously installed an exhibit of antique and vintage radios, gizmos and books at the Long Hill Township Library, 917 Valley Road in Gillette, NJ.
In addition to the radio exhibit, Ray Chase and members of NJARC will present an “Early Days of Radio” program on Sunday, January 15th, at 1:30 p.m. in the Long Hill Township Library. Prior to and during the presentation, vintage 1930s radio programming will be played through radios that were used in the average home during radio's early days. They will also broadcast live using a vintage radio!
The “Early Days of Broadcasting” program traces the history of radio during the early 20th century. The program will focus on how radio entered the home and its important social and financial impact on everyday American life.
The New Jersey Antique Radio Club’s mission is to promote an appreciation of radio history, conserve and restore radios and radio artifacts, and preserve the technical knowledge of early radio. The club holds monthly meetings to share the expertise of individual members and guest speakers. The club also installs displays and provides lectures in cooperation with community and educational organizations.
The Radio program at the Long Hill Library is free and all are invited to attend.
