Hi Anne,

My son just recently moved into an apartment in Franklin Township to attend
Rutgers University. One of the first things he did was to register for a
library card at the Franklin Township Library. He raved about it!

I am Head of Youth Services at the Bordentown Branch Library of the
Burlington County Library System.I read your e-mail about reading to
elderly patients. At the moment I am involved in developing and
implementing a Special Needs Collection which requires a lot of time and
investigative work. I will keep in mind the project that you wrote about
for future possibilities.

My best,
Beverly Jacob
