As a result of a lawsuit, the Manville Public Library now has access to new durable materials relating to healthy eating, promoting health, and a healthy lifestyle.
The lawsuit is the State of New Jersey vs. Salton, Inc. lawsuit, also known as “The George Foreman Anti-Trust Settlement Grant Program.”
”The Manville Library has been awarded a $417.77 grant from the New Jersey State Library,” said Library Director Ed Smith.
Mr. Smith stated that he hoped patrons will come to the library and look for materials that will give them access to a healthy lifestyle.
”Cooking on the grill it is!” suggests Mr. Smith.
