Vehicle Day Round-Up!

Vehicle Day was a huge success! A special thanks goes out to the Matawan Police Department, the Matawan Fire Department, the Matawan Department of Public Works, the Monmouth County Sheriff's Office and the Aberdeen Police Department. Over 150 kids, teens and adults explored vehicles that were parked on Park Avenue. Ms. Linda held vehicle storytimes on the hour and gave out special construction hats for children to wear that read "Readers at work!" If you missed Vehicle Day, check out the pictures below!

Vehicle day this Saturday!

Looking for something to do this Saturday, October 20th? Come on down to the library for Vehicle Day from 11AM-2PM! We’ll be closing off Park Avenue and parking (no pun intended!) a street sweeper, a fire truck and the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office hummer! Kids and grownups can come explore the vehicles and learn one each one does. We’ll also be having vehicle storytimes on the hour @ 11AM, 12PM, and 1PM.  The Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office will also offer youth identification cards while they are here. Hope to see you all this Saturday!
