Visit The George Sr. and Betty Dealaman Children’s Corner on Thursday, May 2, 2024 for Warren Twp. Branch Dedication Ceremony

About Blog Post Apr 29, 2024 by SCLSNJ
The Somerset County Library System of New Jersey's (SCLSNJ) Warren Township branch will be hosting a dedication ceremony, celebrating their enhanced children's play space - The George Sr. and Betty Dealaman Children’s Corner - on Thursday, May 2, 2024. "It has truly been a delight to witness the children's play area transform from email subject lines to a real and dynamic physical space in the Warren branch," said Darryl Voorhees, branch manager. "Knowing that children can explore and interact with each other and the Library in new creative ways is incredibly rewarding for everyone involved. Thanks to the Dealaman family for their remarkably generous contribution that will serve the community for years to come. We are also so grateful to the Township, to the Friends of the Warren Library, and to the Warren Library Advisory Board for their support." The dedication ceremony will begin at 6 p.m., followed by a special children's magic show beginning at 6:30 p.m. Registration is requested for those wishing to attend the magic show. Light refreshments will be served. "We are so excited to share this newly imagined space with the community," said Katie Winjum, youth services department supervisor. "Having the new play elements in our children's area makes the space instantly welcoming to customers and invites them to explore and stay a while." The new children's space offers visiting families the opportunity to explore through play, allowing children and caregivers the opportunity to utilize the new interactive market playhouse, read atop garden-themed tables, spend a few quiet minutes meditating beside wall decorations that help bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, and more. Dedicated librarians and library staff at the branch have also worked to enhance the Library's collections by adding new reading materials as well as rearranging older materials for easier access. The Warren Township branch is located at 42 Mountain Boulevard in Warren. For questions, call (908) 458-8450 or email warrentownship@sclibnj.org.
