Mayor Janice S. Mironov proclaimed National Library Week April 6 to 12, with the theme “Drawn to the Library” and recognized the important role of the two East Windsor library branches, Hickory Corner and Twin Rivers, of the Mercer County Library System.  Mayor Mironov presented the Proclamation, along with Barnes and Noble gift certificates donated by Shiseido America for the two Township library branches, to Sharon Galbraith Ryer, Branch Manager of the Hickory Corner Library, Phyllis Anker, East Windsor representative to the Mercer County Library Commission, and President of the Friends of the Library for Hickory Corner Library Debbie Scherholz and Vice President of the Friends of the Library for Twin Rivers Library Terry Goldstein.

Mayor Mironov stated, “Our libraries are an incredibly important focus and resource center here in East Windsor Township where groups can meet, residents have free access to books, newspapers and magazines, movies, music, digital materials, as well as use of computers.  I am always excited to see how many people, young and old, embrace and utilize East Windsor’s two public libraries, the Hickory Corner Branch and the Twin Rivers Branch.  Our libraries open doors to information, programs and opportunities, and are key building blocks of our democracy. I am proud to continue to support their efforts to serve the people of our community.”

The Mayoral Proclamation issued by Mayor Mironov states, “our public libraries provide all people with books, information, computers, videos, audio cassettes and other resources to enrich their lives.”   The Proclamation continues, “Librarians provide the essential guidance and support needed by children, teenagers and adults alike in their search for knowledge and information, as well as their pursuit of avocational and leisure interests.”
