The event will feature face painting, snacks, drinks and more, as well as provide information about what summer options are available to you and your children, such as summer recreational activities, camps, jobs and child care resources.

The mini resource fair will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2008, 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Long Branch Free Public Library, 328 Broadway in Long Branch.

Poster materials will be available at the Library, where students may draw their posters and hand in their entrees from now until April 26th.
