Livingston Library
Community,
There is nothing we
love more at the Livingston Library than connecting with friends over
music and dessert. We invite Seniors to join us on Friday, July 19th,
for a special summertime Senior Happening performance where Brad
Ziffer will be performing “The Music of the 1950s and 1960s.”
An Essex County
native and graduate of Montclair State University, Ziffers holds a BA
in Theater Studies. Ziffer’s Senior Happening performance will surely
get you dancing in your seats, tapping your toes, and singing along
to your favorite songs from this time.
While the
performance begins at 1pm, we encourage Seniors to join us starting
at 12pm for a delightful pre-show gathering. Enjoy coffee and dessert
while engaging in good conversation with friends and neighbors!
Registration is required for Senior Happening. You can learn more
about the event and register on the Library’s event calendar.

The Friends of
the Livingston Library will hold two Beat the Heat Book Blast sales
during August. Friends Board member and Book Blast
Co-coordinator Anita Mintz says, “During the dog days of summer we
encourage patrons to cool off in the Library and browse the Friends
Book Store. As the Library’s summer reading programs wind down on
August 2, our sales give all ages the opportunity to continue
reading books sold at deeply discounted prices.”
