RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

Our community-wide book discussion of “The Silver Linings Playbook” kicked off with a celebrityled Garbage Bag Run from Princeton High School to the library, followed by a Pep Rally on Hinds Plaza featuring the Princeton University Band. It wrapped up with an inspiring talk by author Matthew Quick in the auditorium at John Witherspoon Middle School. In between, there were many serious discussions about mental health care as well as cooking and dancing programs related to the action of the book.
