Do you want to get out of sun and roam a cool museum? Go online www.sclsnj.org and reserve your free museum pass.
The SCLS Museum Pass Program at Manville Library will change in July due tobudget restraints. The library will be limited to these passes: Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, and the Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton Township.
Passes must be returned to the branch from which they were checked out. Please return pass promptly; another customer may have a reservation for the pass.
A library card must be in good standing (that is, not expired, with no fines over $20).
The late fee for all passes is $20 per day.
Summer events: Registration for the library’s teen summer reading program has begun.
This year’s teen summer reading theme is "Spark a Reaction." Special events will be offered until Aug. 22. Also, reading this summer will earn teens free tickets to a raffle. One lucky teen will win a Samsung tablet.
Every Thursday at 4:30 p.m., teens may participate in a science experiment, and a teen craft will be offered every Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. In addition, the library will sponsor chess tournaments, movies and game afternoons.
Some summer reading events will require advance registration. To find out how and when to register for events, check out the Somerset County Library System website at www.sclsnj.org. Click on "Events," then "Manville," then the event on the calendar — or register in person at the library.
