This young policeman preferred having his picture taken using the Mirror function of my iPad's PhotoBooth app.  The Neptune Public Library is lucky to have such eager  boys in blue with whistles patrolling the area during its Halloween party.  It was wonderful to be with the kids and showing them how to use the app while taking pictures of them.  They didn't mind a TEENY break from the games, crafts and snacks that their Library offered to them that day!

One of the Neptune Public Library's mascots - the evil Joker - attended the Library's Halloween party. The Joker was quite familiar with my iPad's PhotoBooth app and wanted to use its Squeeze feature to take his own picture.

#njsd12 Early evening arrival at the very busy Red Bank Public Library - Eisner Memorial. They are celebrating 75 years in this building which was originally a mansion built in 1856, but renovated in the early 1900’s by the Eisner family (who also owned a uniform factory in town - now the Galleria). Local history librarian, Elizabeth McDermott shared this and more about Red Bank’s history and the library’s local history resources during my visit.
