A musical treat was enjoyed by children ages 5 & up at Brick this summer. Johnny & Kate are young, hip musicians with a passion for sharing their music. With an assortment of violins, guitars, acoustic & electric guitars, drums, & tambourines, each child had a chance to try out the instruments under the enthusiastic guidance of Johnny & Kate. Working in small groups, the children were thrilled to try out these grown-up instruments!
On May 14, the Brick TAB in conjunction with the Brick Memorial High School, put on their annual Anime Extravaganza, complete with Cosplay, Dance Dance revolution, LARP (Live Action Role Playing) and of course the ever popular, traditional Japanese Food corner.
Pham sent these photos in to show what the event was like:
The first place winner in the cosplay contest.
The second place winner in the cosplay contest.
Third place winner in the cosplay contest.
Honorable mention goes to this anime fan, who came up with a perfect last minute costume.
The video game “Dance Dance Revolution” was also super popular at the program.
The Brick branch of the Ocean County Library, 301 Chambers Bridge Road, will host an open house from 12:30 p.m. till 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11 to assist parents who are either interested in home schooling their children or are currently homeschooling.
There will be a time to meet and greet other homeschooling parents, learn about support groups in the area and check out library materials on home education. Parents who are currently homeschooling are encouraged to bring any educational materials they would like to trade with others.
A story time for young children will begin at 1 pm while parents will have the opportunity to watch a presentation about the library’s electronic resources that are invaluable to homeschoolers. A question and answer session and a chance to network will follow.
Light refreshments will be available. This program is free and open to the public.
Reservations are required. Please call the Brick branch at (73) 477-4513, option 3 for the children’s department, or log on to our website www.theoceancountylibrary.org to register.
