Share in the excitement of Lunar New Year with the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey (SCLSNJ). The Montgomery branch has created an informative display featuring world language books, Asian cookbooks, and books written by Asian authors from numerous cultures, including: China, Vietnam, South Korea, and Malaysia, and created a unique take-home craft to encourage celebrations.
"SCLSNJ is fortunate to serve as a gateway to many different cultural exploration opportunities through services, collections, programs, and displays that celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity," said Manny Miracle, adult services supervisor. "I am so proud to work with a team that relishes finding new ways to connect with our communities and dedicate their considerable talents and efforts to helping customers spark curiosity."
