The storytime was a great success with Mayor Joshi reading a few of the children's favorite picturebooks, including Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina, and answering questions from the audience such as "what does the mayor do?" and "when did you decide you wanted to be the Mayor?"

Caps for Sale

Sunday, April 10th, the Edison Public Library introduced The India Collection which includes books donated by the Consulate General of India Randhir Jaiswal, GOPIO, and many others.

The India Collection includes books in English, Hindi, and Gujarati. The unveiling was followed by a reception and a celebration of Holi with music, song, and food. The event was attended by many local residents, council members from Edison and neighboring towns, and dignitaries.

The India Collection is available for checkout. Locate titles in the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium (LMxAC) catalog at lmxac.org.
