September 2022 Welcome to your library! I’m thrilled to be here and to invite you to everything Union Public Library offers. The public library is the place for ultimate and infinite possibilities. What other venue is open to everyone, requires no fee to enjoy the services, offers high-level staff assistance, provides resources on any topic, and hosts programming for all ages? Whether you’re an avid reader, or working on early literacy, we have resources and staff to help you and your family at whatever level is right for you. But today’s library is about more than just reading. We offer life-long learning through programs, services and collections. We want you to experience a wealth of discovery here. Staff are here to connect you to the information you need. From technology training to financial literacy, learning a language, job-hunting, test-prep, homework help, navigating new stages of life, and small-business resources– we can help you reach your goals. Our doors are open six days a week (regular hours begin September 12) and four evenings between both locations. Our online services are available 24/7. You can stream a movie or documentary, get an eBook, audiobook or eMagazine, or download music in an instant, conduct research using trustworthy resources in our academic search premier database, and so much more! Library staff and resources have more than information, we have tools and training to sift through the hundreds of results to find the answer that will actually mean something to you. It all starts with a library card. Come visit us and see how the library can open new possibilities for you. Looking forward to seeing you! You can also find us on FaceBook, Instagram and YouTube. I can be reached at director@uplnj.org Sincerely, Kassundra Miller
