“What’s your name?”
“Serene.”
“Serena?” Elliot asked.

Elliot’s mouth fell open. “That is badass.”
The Borderlands aren’t like anywhere else. Don’t try to smuggle a phone or any other piece of technology over the wall that marks the Border—unless you enjoy a fireworks display in your backpack. (Ballpoint pens are okay.) There are elves, harpies, and—best of all as far as Elliot is concerned—mermaids.
It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again.
Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it.
Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things.
But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them?
Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated.
Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.

Join us for Volunteer Day, an exciting annual event when first-year medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School visit the library to share health and wellness information and meet library patrons. Kids, teens, and adults can meet a future doctor, ask them for information, and talk to them about the educational path they took to get to this point.
Stop by and chat with students from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Students will be handing out information about Heart Health, First Aid, and Summer Safety. You’ll find students at tables located at the entrance to the library; in the Youth Services department, and in the Senior Center. The medical school will be handing out water bottles and sunscreen as free giveaways!
UPDATE: The June 20 meeting of the debate club has been cancelled. Please join us again on July 18.
Every other Tuesday at 5:00pm on Zoom.
Open to all students in grades 6-12

Interested in the wide world of self-publishing? Anyone can make a zine, and so can you! Zines are small, self-published booklets that have been part of various subcultures and fan communities for many years - they're a great way to express your thoughts and passions and can cover just about any topic!
Students entering 6th grade can join us for an evening of red light painting. Red light makes it hard to tell colors apart, so we won't know what our paintings look like until the lights come on! Registration is required. Please call 732-390-6879 to register.
