THE FRIENDS OF THE NUTLEY LIBRARY
As I sit cradling my worn copy of "Alice's
Adventures In Wonderland," it is hard to believe
that 150 years have gone by since its
publication. The sustainability, the familiarity,
the fantastic trips that peak our imagination,
that is what a book offers to us. This Fall, the
"Friends" will sponsor two exciting events that
will enable us to follow the advice of Dr. Seuss:
"Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the
crannies and all the nooks."
October will bring our annual book sale. Where
can you secure a fantastic journey for only $1.00
or less? November 14 is truly an exciting day! It
is Nutley Library Day at Barnes & Noble in Clifton
Commons. The day will be packed with free
activities for all ages. Please watch for a flyer
that will outline the events planned.
Please come "check us out" and remember the
door to endless possibilities opens as we
read. Keep in mind the encouragement given to
us by Lewis Carroll:
“The time has come," the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-Of cabbages--and kings-And why the sea is boiling hot-And whether pigs have wings.”
-Barbara Hirsch, President
The 70th Anniversary of the Nutley Historical Society

history, shares recent additions to the
museum’s collections, and presents a
newly discovered Indian ledger book found
