“Storytelling is a powerful medium, and with the continuation of the pandemic affecting our daily lives, this contest helps our community connect in a personal way” says Melissa Hozik, Adult Programming Librarian.

All ages are welcome to participate and East Brunswick residency is not required.

Contributors must submit their stories online through the library’s website by May 31st.
