📰 News we're reading

• One card, 64 libraries, a summer well spent (thepressgroup.net) — Fort Lee's public library was one of 64 stops for Montvale resident Paul Low, who spent the summer visiting BCCLS libraries and collecting passport stamps. His quest highlighted how a single library card opens doors across northern New Jersey, inspiring organizers to consider a similar challenge next year. The program drew hundreds of participants and more than 7,500 library visits systemwide.
