Dorothy Stone of Home Energy Matters will be discussing Home Energy Efficiency, the NJ Rebate Program and No Interest Loans all components that can help you make your home more energy efficient.  Program presented by the Denville Sustainability Committee and the Denville Public Library.

This program will be presented at Town Hall, 1 Saint Mary’s Place – Community Room.  Please feel free to attend one or both programs.

Join us for an informal discussion of  “My Name is Lucy Barton” by Elizabeth Stout.   Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.  No registration is required.
