End of Summer Recap:

We had Storytime and Lego Club all summer, sadly we hardly had anyone to read to or play legos with.  J Remember us next Summer we have it Tuesday’s.  

Our Summer Family activities are always so much fun, and you guys make it special. 

Family Scavenger Hunt (10 attended).  We had 1 huge family breakup into 3 groups.  It was a good time. Next year, lookout we will have a whole new list and hopefully other families to challenge. 

Family Bingo Night (3 attended) However, there were several games played and lots of prizes.

Mahjong – was also played here a few Thursday (Late) evenings.

In the Spotlight… Melissa Warren, Library Assistant

I went to Rutgers University; received my B.A. in computer information systems. I am a librarian assistant for 5yrs. now. I love my job. I love to work on projects with the kids that visit, and I get to meet new people all the time, and watch some grow up, lol. I am married to Jacob Warren; we have two children, Cadence Warren (age 10) and Ethan Warren (age 7). We are longtime residents of Sea Isle. We have seen our fair share of storms; despite the odds against us, we still love the shore.
