THE RESULTS ARE IN!




The Raffle was a great success!

Last week was National Library Week and to celebrate we held a raffle - the prizes were books! (who doesn't love books, I ask you?) Still we were really pleasantly surprised by the sweet responses from our winners.

The staff went to a lot of work to select a few "prize" books from our book sale room and then to try to match the books with the randomly selected winners. Well, by all accounts, each book was a perfect match!

Thank you to all involved!

RED BANK AS A LITERARY CAPITAL?

What a great thought!

I took this title from the local paper, TriCity News, March 12, 2009, Vol 10 Issue 26. In this issue they published an interesting article about authors coming to Red Bank. And these authors are being brought to Red Bank by Kim Widener and Jacquie Dalton-Fiorito as part of their company "Book It".

Check out their website and their upcoming "book it" events:

http://www.bookitevents.net

Their last event was a well attended party at the Two River Theatre - Robert Wagner (yes, that Hollywood celebrity and husband of the late Natalie Wood) has written a book called "Pieces of My Heart" and he was toast and host of the evening. The price of the ticket included a copy of the book, a party and chance to chat with Robert Wagner.

Right here in Red Bank.
