Electronic Recycling Day
Saturday, May 18th from 11am to 1pm
 

Electrocycle, Inc. will be in the parking lot of the Harrison Township Public Library to Recycle your old computers, laptops, servers, printers and much more. All collected hard drives will be taken to a secure facility and shredded with an industrial hard drive shredder. A certificate of destruction will be provided. Last year our community recycled 3,312 lbs. of electronics. This year we hope to beat that number and recycle more than ever! Help us meet that goal and be earth-conscious as you dispose of your electronics. Please see the library website for a complete list of accepted and unaccepted electronics.

Ties that Bind: History of Aprons

Wednesday, May 22nd at 6:30pm
 

Since almost the beginning of time, the apron has been worn in front of the body for practical, decorative and ritualistic purposes. They’ve been worn to protect garments, indicate status, depict rank, and as cultural icons.  And they are back in vogue today!  Join us as we delve into the beginnings of aprons and how they evolved over the decades to today. 
We invite everyone to wear their own favorite apron, especially those handed down with love from Mom or Grandma. Event tickets are $15 each or a pack of 4 for $40. Please visit the library in person to purchase your tickets. Basket raffle to take place the night of the event. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. We’ll explore the history of the apron, enjoy light refreshments, and mingle with friends. 
All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Harrison Township Public Library and help fund library programs, projects, equipment, and events that support the library's mission.
