CHERRY HILL, NJ — Welcome to the Aug. 1 edition of Monday Manual, where we take a look at some of the events going on in Cherry Hill this week.

On Friday, Aug. 5, from 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Willets Point At Willowdale Park, the staff at Cherry Hill Public Library will hold Story Time in the Park. This is the second-to-last such event of the summer season.

On Saturday, Aug. 6, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Chery Hill Mall will host a Back to School Block Party for Kids featuring lots of fun activities. Reserve tickets for one of the events — a meet and greet with characters from "The Octonauts" — by clicking here.

Also on Saturday, but from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pet Supplies Plus along Kings Highway in Cherry Hill, the One Love Animal Rescue will hold an animal adoption event. Come and see if you are able to give one of their furry friends a forever home.

And on Sunday, Aug. 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the Barclay Farmstead will be open for farmhouse tours, nature walks and more. Cherry Hill residents, those aged 12 years and younger and registered Friends of the Barclay Homestead are allowed in for free; everyone else is charged a fee.
