Programs for Adults
July Book Boxes!

Can't get away this summer? Take a free vacation through one of these fiction picks. Don't forget to sign up for the summer reading club! Get the chance to earn prizes for reading the books you enjoy.

Book Boxes allow you the chance to read a library book you may not have picked yourself. For each month our librarians have selected a theme and will put books across all genres into these boxes that follow our theme. Participants will still need to check out the book like they would any other library materials and loan periods still apply. No registration is required, first come first served
Get an introduction to the Woodbridge River Watch! Members of the River Watch, Roberta Martin, will guide give us a short history of the organization while highlighting major projects such as the Ernie Oros Wildlife Preserve. They will also give us a look at other projects that the group and others have completed and ways to get involved!


**This event will take place in-person at the Woodbridge Main Library**
Beach Nesting Birds: The Birds of Summer will explore the unique biology and behavior of New Jersey's beach nesting shorebirds, including piping plover, least tern, black skimmers, and American oystercatchers. You will hear about the challenges faced by biologists in trying to protect endangered species on our state's busy tourist-filled beaches, as well as learning about the latest management strategies being implemented and the progress being made towards recovery.
