Join us at the Monmouth County Library as we celebrate literary and artistic contributions by our cousins from "across the pond" during the month of June.
Mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of English novelist Charles Dickens, and the 50th year of the iconic British rock group The Rolling Stones with special performances at Library Headquarters in Manalapan.
It's "A Dickens of a Day" on Sunday, June 3! The Library welcomes a performance by actor Hebert "Joe" Plummer as Charles Dickens, readings from Dickens' classics by The Traveling Literary Theater and a Dickens lecture by Edward G. Pettit, who is the kens Ambassador of the Free Library of Philadelphia. And on Sunday, June 10, the Library will host a concert by The Glimmer Twins, a Rolling Stones tribute band.
Other Library programs in June will celebrate author Jane Austen and the playwright William Shakespeare. Celebrate the anniversary of "Bloomsday" with special readings from James Joyce's Ulysses. You can also learn about growing English roses and the importance of tea drinking at Library programs.

The final count has been issued by the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties -- and the Food Drive collected 21,488 pounds of food items during the month of April. That's more than TEN AND A HALF TONS!
