Art with Liz

Wednesdays at 10:30 AM

Main Library, Large Program Room & Zoom/YouTube


Art classes at the Hoboken Library in June will be bursting with excitement and color as we celebrate the great contributions of Caribbean Americans to the world of visual art. During

Caribbean American History Month we will look at and be inspired by many talented Caribbean artists’ work.


Our first artist this month will be Hulda Guzmán. Guzman is a figurative painter whose work focuses on narrative and space. She uses unusual materials to create her images and these non-traditional materials will stimulate much conversation! We will then revisit figurative drawing and painting after studying her work. Each student will create a gestural drawing of a figure in motion.


This program will be held both in person and live on Zoom and YouTube.

Yoga Story Time

Fridays at 10:30 AM

Church Square Park


Roll out your mats and meet Ms. Carolyn in the park!

Staff Picks

Big Girl Blitz

by Danielle Allen


Jazmyn Payne left her hometown and everyone who made her feel small the moment she had the chance, and she has been building a life on her own terms ever since. When her beloved Aunt Addison's health takes a turn and she pushes Jazz to finally put herself first, dating is the last thing on Jazz's agenda.


Then Lamar Anderson sits down next to her at the sports bar and suddenly the agenda looks a little different. Sexy, fun, and refreshingly uncomplicated, he is exactly what she did not know she needed.


Allen writes with humor, heat, and a whole lot of heart, delivering a romance that is as much about healing as it is about falling in love. The kind of book that makes you cheer out loud.

Gamora and Nebula

by Mackenzi Lee


Two sisters. One mission. Zero interest in cooperating.


Gamora arrives on Torndune, a once-lush planet stripped bare by relentless mining, with orders to claim the heart of the planet. Nebula arrives right behind her, determined to beat her to it. What follows is equal parts sibling rivalry and survival story, as both sisters align themselves with warring factions and slowly begin to reckon with the uncomfortable truth that they might actually need each other.


Lee brings the same sharp character work that made The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue a sensation, and fans of the MCU's most complicated sisterhood will find plenty to love here.

I'm Not Missing

by Kashelle Gourley


Freedom!


This dog has had enough of pet life and is ready to embrace his destiny as a Lone Wolf. That is, until he spots his owner back home with a new dog and suddenly the whole Lone Wolf thing feels a lot less appealing.


A hilarious and surprisingly relatable story about independence, jealousy, and the sneaky way home has of pulling you back. Perfect for any kid who has ever stormed off and then immediately regretted it.
