As we get all caught up on a buggy summer of reading, rainy day games, brilliant builders and marvelous mystery solvers the Mays Landing Library still finds we have another full and exciting fall season ahead of us. First and foremost we are pleased to announce our 25th Anniversary Celebration!

Events are all week starting on Monday, September 15th but the big Anniversary Ceremonies are on Tuesday, September 16th with remarks and memories from local dignitaries and community members at 2:00 p.m.

Following will be a delightful afternoon tea and open house for all who attend. Then the celebration continues on Wednesday. Bring in the family and come help us celebrate 25 years with an evening of Irish music, provided by the Ceili Band, dancing and dessert on Wednesday, September 17th from 7pm - 8:30pm.

The end of summer doesn't mean the end of our kids programs. This fall brings even more activities! Story time continues but we've added a Spooky Story Night, Candy Corn Contest, Halloween Party, Anne of Green Gables Best Friend Tea, Holiday Crafts and Pajama Story Time to name a few. Our Teen Seals program has been very successful and will also continue to meet this fall with more service and activities to participate in. Meetings will be announced.

Since it is back-to-school time the Mays Landing Library is prepared for all your scholastic needs. And for the parents, who now celebrate with some coveted "mommy" and "daddy" time, come in and check out our newest releases or pick up a good movie to relax with.
