Bold Impact Book Nook Ribbon Cutting &amp; Community Book Swap
Join us Saturday, September 12, for the official ribbon cutting of the&nbsp;Bold Impact Book Nook, a registered Little Free Library (Charter #230611) created to expand access to books, celebrate diverse stories, and build community right here in Fords.
What began with a previously loved Little Free Library has been restored with the help and generosity of neighbors, local businesses, organizations, and community partners.
The celebration will feature a special Storytime with children’s author and NJ Speech-Language Pathologist Taye Jones, our first Community Book Swap for all ages, activities and bookmark decorating, light refreshments, and more. Bring a new or gently used multicultural book to swap, or simply come enjoy the day. No book is required to participate.
September is also Library Card Sign-Up Month, and the Woodbridge Public Library will join us on site to help residents connect with library cards and resources.

CareSparc Community Connections is also partnering with the City of Newark, the Essex County Board of Commissioners, Saint Michael's Medical Center, University Hospital, Rutgers Health - New Jersey Medical School, Rutgers School of Nursing, Montclair State University, and the Newark Teacher's Union to broaden the festival’s reach and connect residents with critical health and community resources.
