March is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues and spring into something new! Whether it's joining our book club, attending this month's local history program, updating your resume with our adult literacy department, or joining us for a storytime, we’ve got something for everyone this month.
Even though we are still closed for construction, we have events happening all over our city and some that you can also join virtually. Scroll to the bottom of this newsletter to see a list of the many great events happening at other libraries in our area.

Between policing a town her hunky chief deputy calls four cents short of a nickel, that pesky crush Sunshine Vicram has on a local troublemaker which seems to grow exponentially every day, and an irascible raccoon that just doesn’t know when to quit, Sunny’s life is about to rocket to a whole new level of crazy.
Please call our Circulation Department at 908-757-1111 ext.1800 to schedule a time to pickup your free copy from the library or you can borrow it from another STELLA library.
It's ok to attend even if you didn't finish the book!
