Looking for a new job? Come to the Library this Wednesday, August 5th at 10am for an informative "Job Hunting Success" program.  Lead by Garret Gega of the Office of Workforce Development of Middlesex Country, the workshop will focus on job searching, resume writing and interviewing tips.



Then, on Thursday, August 6th, we'll be hosting another type of hunt -- our library scavenger hunt for teens at 6:30pm. Participants will be given a list of things they'll need to find and photograph around the Library and the first person (or team) back to the starting point wins a prize. Players will also enjoy ice cream at the end of the scavenger hunt while they're looking at all the photos. The program is open to kids in grades 6-12, and at least one person per team must pre-register at www.oldbridgelibrary.org. or by calling 732-721-5600 x5033. Players must also have their own camera or phone to take the photographs.

The Banjo Rascals are coming! The popular five-piece group will present a free concert this Saturday, August 1st at 2pm at the Central branch. The Banjo Rascals have been delighting audiences of all ages for many years with a variety of distinctive toe-tapping music. Their repertoire ranges from 1890s Ragtime to 1950s, 60s and 70s rock-n-roll, and they often perform Scott Joplin favorites including The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag. The lively group encourages sing-alongs with crowd-pleasers such as Carolina in the Morning, Four Leaf Clover and Down By the Old Mill Stream, and will heat things up with hot Dixieland standards like Tiger Rag, That's a Plenty, Riverboat Shuffle and When the Saints Go Marching In. Don't miss this great summer concert at the Library, sponsored in cooperation with the Old Bridge Cultural Arts Committee.
