Long Hill Library September 2022
Summer reading might be done but we still have plenty going on at the Long Hill Township Library!
Book Club
This month all of our book clubs are reading the same book, The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens. We are trying to get as many people in our community reading this book as possible. Various discussion groups will be available in-person and via Zoom. Copies of this book are available in the library, via Libby and via hoopla (our two ebook and eaudio platforms).
