East Brunswick Public Library's Chinese New Year Celebration is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.

This program is sponsored by the Chinese Heritage School of New Jersey.

Established in 2000 as a non-profit organization, the school's mission is to offer Chinese language education to students of any race and ethnic origin, so they can read and understand basic Chinese.
