Don't forget Bookfest!
In spite of Downtown Toms River's "Pizza, Pasta and Pastry" event being cancelled, the Ocean County Library's Bookfest is absolutely happening - we are just moving the whole event indoors. For info, go to http://theoceancountylibrary.org/HUH/bookfest.htm.
Bookfest will take place as scheduled between 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27. This event is free and there are programs for the whole family! There will be cooking demonstrations, activities for kids (I will be doing a "Gadgetology" program as well as making smoothies with the kids in the afternoon), sample tastings, cool stuff for teens, lots of authors and more.
