The Joy of Backyard Bird Feeding

Woodbridge Main Library - Ground Floor Meeting Room

Please join us at the Woodbridge Main Library on Monday, September 16th at 7:00 PM for the presentation, The Joy of Backyard Bird Feeding. Pete Axelrod from Wild Birds Unlimited of Scotch Plains will discuss how attracting birds is a great way to bring us closer to nature while offering hours of enjoyment.

This program familiarizes participants with using bird feeders, water and shelter to attract native birds. In addition, we will learn about unique and interesting bird behavior. We will also learn how to discourage nuisance animals and how to make our properties bird-friendly. Birds add another dimension to the artistry of a garden with their striking colors, behaviors and allure of their songs!

A Universe of Stories: Galaxies - The Cities of the Universe

Thursday, August 1 @ 6:30 PM

Woodbridge Main Library - Ground Floor Meeting Room

Galaxies act as the cities of the Universe, from small "towns" with only a few tens of thousands of stars to massive metropolises boasting billions.  What makes up a galaxy?  How are these galaxies affected by the environment around them?  And most importantly, how is it possible to study objects that are billions of light years away and gain knowledge about their inner workings?  We'll take a broad look at galaxies and the universe as a whole, from spirals to ellipticals, from black holes to stars, and from dark matter to dark energy.
