Union Public Library September 2022
Union Public Library Helps You Start Anew in September with Improvisation, Stress Reduction, Knitting, Bagels, and Home Buyers Workshop
September can be a stressful month between vacations ending and schools beginning. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back at Union Public Library (UPL). Whether in-person or virtually through Zoom, we’ll take care of you. To register for all events, please go to: uplnj.org/events/list/.
September is also Library Card Sign-up Month, when libraries remind parents and caregivers, children and teens, that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. Stop in today to get access to free books, ebooks, music, movies, technology and so much more.
September also means a return to regular hours beginning Saturday, September 17. To keep fully informed of what’s new at the library, sign up for our newsletter here and be the first to know.
