Native American Heritage Month

Native American Heritage Month, which started off as just one day of recognition in May 1916, has lead to an entire month of celebrating the traditions and growth of its community since November 1990 (nativeamericanheritagemonth.gov).

Ocean County Library is acknowledging the month by providing resources for learning more about the culture with

 American Indian History Online.

Enjoy a variety of great reads with these curated book lists for all ages.

Sensory backpacks are now available for customers at all Ocean County Library branches to use during their visits. Items designed for various sensory needs are inside these backpacks, including a weighted blanket, wiggle cushion, noise-canceling headphones, sensory bracelets, fidget toys, therapy tangles and emoji emotion cards.

Contents at each branch may vary.

Don't forget to come visit our Toms River and Jackson Sensory Spaces too!

Giving Tuesday - December 3rd

The Ocean County Library Foundation is committed toward the goal of enhancing all library services, programs, and facilities to foster an appreciation and awareness of the Ocean County Library in the community.
