Mayor Janice S. Mironov proclaimed National Library Week, April 19 to April 25, with the theme: "For a Richer, Fuller Life, Read" and presented Proclamations, along with donated Barnes & Noble gift certificates, to representatives of the Hickory Corner Branch and Twin Rivers Branch of the Mercer County Library system. Those representatives included: Sharon Galbraith Ryer, Branch Manager of the Hickory Corner Library; Jeanne Murray, Branch Manager, Twin Rivers 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. The libraries were recognized as key centers within our community, which provide valuable access to many diverse resources and serve as a center for community group meetings.

Mayor Mironov states, "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. 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." The Mayoral Proclamation "encourages all people to support and rediscover the wealth of resources and services available at the East Windsor Township libraries," further stating, "Our public libraries safeguard the right of Americans to free access to read, learn and connect to information on all subjects and representing all points of view, serving as a cornerstone of our democracy."
