I was, as always graced to be joined at the event by another enthusiastic leader of Red Bank, our Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Laura Morana; whose commitment and partnership with our Library is to be commended as a model for all communities.
The formation of the Friends of the Library Group demonstrates an innovative and exciting new avenue for us as a community to spotlight the best that we have in Red Bank. I am so grateful to those members of our community who have joined and encourage others to consider becoming a friend of the Library. Information concerning membership in the Friends of the Library can be secured by calling the staff at our Library or better yet, by visiting and talking to our dedicated library employees.
