BASEBALL!…with the NJ JACKELS Sponsored by the CENTER FOR LIFELONG LIVING…THANK YOU! There has been an overwhelming response to the usage of this pass to see the NJ JACKELS play.  The patrons who have checked this pass out have had a wonderful family experience together. The games were held at Yogi Berra Stadium which is one of the premier college athletic facilities at any level in the country.     The 3,900 seat stadium features lawn seating and is a great place to spend an afternoon.

Destination ImagiNation!

Children’s Dept. at the Kinnelon Public Library would like to play a valuable role in Kinnelon’s Destination ImagiNation program. Our library is a place where kids can find what they to know and what they are good at and learn to apply it to solve challenges for DI. The library is also a place where groups can work together cooperatively. The Children’s Dept. has purchased all the books needed for the DI challenges (PLEASE SEE CHILDREN”S CIRC DESK UPSTAIRS).
