Woodbridge Public Library announces TEDxWoodbridge Public Library Events for 2018 - 2019

Launched in 2009, TEDx is a program of locally organized events that brings the community together to share a TED-like experience. Some of the best talks from TEDx events have gone on to be featured on TED.com and garnered millions of views from audiences across the globe. TEDx welcome an intimate audience for an afternoon or evening of highly-curated TED Talks revolving around a globally relevant theme.

TEDxWoodbridgePublicLibrary is a TEDx event designed to connect the community to spark community conversation about new ideas as Woodbridge Township celebrates its 350th Anniversary. The library program credits the idea generated by Greenable Woodbridge, which began as a request to start a book club, but became an application to host a TEDx series.

• Personal Growth, November 29, 2018 – Fords Branch Library @ 7PM

• Technology and Community Engagement, February 26, 2019 – Henry Inman Branch Library @ 7PM

• Growing A Culture of Lifelong Learning, April 25, 2019 – Iselin Branch Library @ 7PM

• Citizenship in the World, June 17, 2019 – Main Library @ 7PM

Older Americans Month 2019: Connect, Create, Contribute

Each year, more and more older adults are making a positive impact in and around Woodbridge. As volunteers, employees, employers, educators, mentors, advocates, and more, they offer insight and experience that benefit the entire community. That’s why Older Americans Month (OAM) has been recognizing the contributions of this growing population for 56 years.

The Woodbridge Public Library will celebrate OAM by promoting ways that community members of all ages can take part in helping Woodbridge thrive. We encourage you to join us for the following FREE programs:
