[Publib] "Senior Spaces"

[amkleiman1 at aol.com]

Greetings--

Our "senior spaces" project is now off and running.? At our opening on June 8th, the New Jersey State Library awarded us a grant of $10,000 to continue to develop the space and move to Phase III--design and construction of our "center for creative learning."

Because we have had so many requests for information about the project, below you can find links to news stories and photos about our "senior spaces."

If you have any additional questions, please e-mail me at:? seniorspaces at oldbridgelibrary.org.? 

We will continue to add to the blog at:? seniorspaces.blogspot.com over the summer.

Here are the links:
