Children’s book author to visit library

The Old Bridge Public Library will continue its Meet the Author series with a presentation by children’s book author Cheryl Matsen-Nieves beginning at 2 p.m. June 25 at the library main branch, Route 516 and Cottrell Road. The event also is a part of the library’s summer reading program.

Matsen-Nieves’ books include the Journey Beyond series: “Universal Truths” and “Battle of the Beetle.” Geared toward middle-school students, the fantasy books seek to empower youngsters and teach them life lessons. The author will read from the novels and engage participants in a discussion. Copies of the books will be available for purchase and signing following the presentation.
