Kids in kindergarten and up are invited to decorate a heart-shaped jigsaw puzzle!  We'll be using markers, paint sticks, crayons, and colored pencils to create unique puzzles.  Perfect to keep for yourself or give to someone special!

We join schools and libraries statewide in celebrating hands-on learning. This year we are excited to share exhibits and displays from community experts. Some of them include:

Let's craft like it's 2012!  Kids in 1st grade and up can go (slightly) old school with the library's awesome teen volunteers and learn to make a simple bracelet on the Rainbow Loom.

Limited space!  Please pick up a ticket at the children's desk beginning at 12:45 if you'd like to participate.

Kids in kindergarten and up are invited to make a simple beaded bracelet for Thanksgiving.  Keep it for yourself or give it as a gift to express your gratitude for a special someone!

East Brunswick Public Library​ teams up with Project Rise (a Dawoodi Bohra Initiative) and New Jersey Assemblyman Sterley S. Stanley for an upcycling workshop at the library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) on Saturday, May 4 at 1:00 pm.

Upcycling is a simple yet powerful concept that can bring about positive change for the environment. It is the process of transforming old or discarded items into new and useful things, rather than throwing them away. In 2023, the state of New Jersey passed a resolution that names April 16 as the state's official "Upcycling Day." 

Kids in grades 2 and up can try their hand at needlepoint at this fun workshop.  Space is limited!  Please register by calling 732-390-6789 beginning March 1.
