Livingston Library Wins Multicultural Programming Award

The Livingston Public Library is the recipient of the New Jersey State Library 2015 Multicultural Programming Award.

According to a release, the award honors outstanding library programs that increase understanding and promote multiculturalism through creative and sustainable cultural programming.

The award is due to programs such as the library’s “Multicultural Celebration Series,” a yearlong public program that features major holidays from cultures represented in the Livingston community. Past celebrations have included Sukkot, Eid al-Fitr, Diwali, Halloween, Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Shavuot.

According to a release, the library will continue to offer Multicultural Celebration programs in the upcoming year - open to all – featuring new activities and guests.
