July 16-22

Hello Hoboken,,


This summer, the Library is buzzing with exciting programs for all ages. I am especially thrilled to welcome the Hudson County 4-H Club to Hoboken Public Library. Their program provides a wonderful opportunity for young dog lovers to explore canine science and learn what it takes to become responsible dog owners, all while having fun and learning.


Even better, the first session of the 4-H Dog Club will be followed by a special Therapy Dog Story Time with our favorite four-legged friend, Riley Maverick Mills (recently featured in The Hoboken Girl). We are so excited to continue offering programs that inspire, educate, and bring joy to the community. Come beat the heat with us and discover something new at Hoboken Public Library!



Regards,

Jennie Pu

Library Director

DocuNights: You Have No Idea

Thursday, July 17 @ 5:30pm

πŸ“Main Library, Small Program Room

A new monthly discussion series at the Hoboken Public Library featuring documentaries.

"When Beth's son Evan James was diagnosed with Autism in the early 90's, doctors simply advised Beth to limit his social interactions. Rejecting these notions, Beth sets out to provide her son with a life filled with purpose and friendship. This heartfelt film is a sweet testament to the power of love and community by profiling a determined mom advocating for her son."
