New Jersey’s organized crime history has been one of the most colorful in the country, serving as the home of some of the most powerful, as well as below-the-radar, mobsters in the Country. And though overshadowed by the emphasis on New York City, the mob and New Jersey have, over the years, become synonymous, in both pop culture and in law enforcement. But for all the press that has been dedicated to the mob and New Jersey, for all the law enforcement activity against the mob, and for all the pop culture references, there has never truly been an examination of the rise of the mob in New Jersey from a historical perspective. Until now.
In Garden State Gangland, Scott M. Deitche sets the historical record straight by providing the first overall
history of the mob in New Jersey, from the early turn of the century Black Hand gangs to the present, and looks at their influence not only in the Garden State, but across the country as a whole.
Join us for a night of crafting @ the Main Library. Adults (18+) are invited to create a glass bead candle holder / desk accessory with the guidance of library staff on Tuesday, February 6 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. All supplies will be provided. Guests need only to bring their crafting spirit!
In this busy, fast-paced world, peace seems like an elusive commodity. Please join Jim Rose, a longtime meditator, for this engaging workshop at the Main Library on Thursday, January 25, 2018 @ 7:00 PM. 
During the week of December 17-22, 2017, the Woodbridge Public Library Board of Trustees invite library patrons to return long overdue materials, or visit to renew their cards with amnesty from overdue fees with the donation of food, one non-perishable item for each overdue item, to replenish the Woodbridge Health Department program, “We Feed Woodbridge.” The library will require reimbursement for the value of lost materials, but processing and overdue fees will be waived during Food for Fines week. Woodbridge Public Library now accepts on-line credit card payment through the library app, BookMyne, and the on-line catalog, patrons will need to visit in person to donate nonperishables and reactivate their library card memberships.
