What have you done for yourself lately? |

Greetings!
The holidays are over, and everyone seems to be getting back to normal workweek routines ... whatever form they take in these post-pandemic days. In the midst of all this, we may neglect to take care of ourselves. And that's the theme of this message: health and wellness.
Along with notes about upcoming health-related events, and some relaxing reading recommendations, please check out the "Did you know about our Wellness Kits?" section. It provides information on care kits designed to help people in our community who might need them.
Earlier this week, TAPintoHoboken ran a feature about the renovation of our third floor. Links to the article are under the Books for Children section, which is fitting as it's the new children's (and teens) rooms that are pictured in the article. We are excited to welcome everyone into the new space this spring.
And Happy New Year! Lunar New Year, that is. Starting on Friday, January 20, we have several fun events celebrating The Year of the Rabbit. Enjoy!
Regards,
Jennie Pu
Library Director

Wellness Kits
Available at all Library Branches

We have added "Code Blue Kits" to our Wellness Kit program. While the Hygiene Kit, Period Care Kit, and Life-Saving Kit are available -- no questions asked -- for pick up at the Main Branch, Grand Street Branch, and the Learning Center, the Code Blue Kits are provided when a Code Blue emergency is declared.
While you may not need these items, we're letting you know about them so that you might share the information with someone who does.

Featured Title
Circling Back to You
by Julia Tieu
|
"Cadence Lim has transformed from behind-the-scenes number cruncher to an integral part of the sales team at Prism Realty. But despite moving up the corporate ladder, her complicated relationship with her estranged elderly father weighs heavily and she can’t seem to shake the desire for a new beginning.
"At least Cadence can always lean on her favorite co-worker and co-conspirator, Matt. A top broker with an unsuccessful love life, the forever single Matt is constantly being nagged to settle down."

Age of Vice
by Deepti Kapoor
|
"Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.
"In the shadow of lavish estates, extravagant parties, predatory business deals and calculated political influence, three lives become dangerously and entertainingly intertwined."
