• A Little Free Library, a Lost Book and the New York Times (villagegreennj.com) — A Maplewood resident’s long-unread college paperback mysteriously reappeared years later in a neighborhood Little Free Library, complete with an old ticket bearing his name. The uncanny discovery, made on his walk home from the South Orange train, ended up featured in The New York Times’ Metropolitan Diary column. His family’s move to Maplewood set the stage for the book’s full-circle journey.
• The Maplewood Strollers presents "Much Ado About Nothing" (newjerseystage.com) — Maplewood theater lovers can catch the Maplewood Strollers’ production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing at 10 Durand Road over two weekends, May 15–24.
