Knitters Seek Yarn for Kids' Holiday Gifts at the OCL Manchester Branch
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP – The ball of yarn that you no longer need or want can bring warm smiles to the faces of Ocean County youngsters in need when the weather turns cold. The Ocean County Library Manchester Branch’s “Chicks with Sticks” will use it to make special handmade gifts in time for the end-of-year holidays.
Each year, the knitting and crocheting group supports the Ocean County Health Department’s collection drive of gloves, mittens, hats and scarves, given at holiday time to children who use the services of OCHD’s various clinics. Yarn is essential for this worthy cause, and supplies are low.
Please help if you can, by dropping off spare skeins of yarn at the OCL Manchester Branch, 21 Colonial Drive. For more information, please call Senior Library Assistant Mary Bridges, (732) 657-7600 or email mbridges@theoceancountylibrary.org.

A Painted Tinware Writing Box Virtual Program
Explore the manufacture, context, and conservation treatment of an 1800s painted tinware writing box in the museum collection with Luca Denegre, Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation fellow. Writing boxes like this one were used in the West before the invention of the fountain pen in the early 20th century. This small red box includes an inkwell and sand shaker, and likely once held other writing tools like wax, quills, or a dip pen. The lid and sides of this everyday object are painted and decorated with gold designs done with bronze powders. The conservation of the box included repairing a broken hinge to restore the functionality of the lid and aimed to restore legibility of the engaging design and stabilize flaking paint while honoring the evidence of everyday use by its previous owner.

This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900's, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs, and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben's travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
Lisa Marie Patzer is a digital media artist, designer, and entrepreneur creating site-specific art that integrates light, pattern, historic imagery, and vibrant color. In recognition of her exceptional contributions to the field, she received the prestigious Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2019. The following year, she was awarded the Sachs Arts and Innovation grant from the University of Pennsylvania. In 2022, Lisa Marie founded her company Lisa Marie Patzer Studio, where she works with private clients, interior designers, and individua…

Knitters Seek Yarn for Kids' Holiday Gifts at the OCL Manchester Branch
MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP – The ball of yarn that you no longer need or want can bring warm smiles to the faces of Ocean County youngsters in need when the weather turns cold. The Ocean County Library Manchester Branch’s “Chicks with Sticks” will use it to make special handmade gifts in time for the end-of-year holidays.
Each year, the knitting and crocheting group supports the Ocean County Health Department’s collection drive of gloves, mittens, hats and scarves, given at holiday time to children who use the services of OCHD’s various clinics. Yarn is essential for this worthy cause, and supplies are low.
Please help if you can, by dropping off spare skeins of yarn at the OCL Manchester Branch, 21 Colonial Drive. For more information, please call Senior Library Assistant Mary Bridges, (732) 657-7600 or email mbridges@theoceancountylibrary.org.

After delivering his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. retires to his motel room, when an unexpected visit from a mysterious maid sparks a night of conversation. As the evening unfolds, King is gradually revealed in all his complexity: a man grappling with doubt, destiny, and the weight of what’s to come. This intimate reimagining of King’s final night is a powerful meditation on legacy and the man behind the movement that shaped a nation.
