Friends of the Parsippany Library Help Celebrate Lunar New Year

On January 31 and February 1, the Friends of the Library helped celebrate the Lunar New Year for community members at both the Main and Lake Hiawatha branches.

Featured attractions included a visit by the author, Sylvia Chen, who presented a lively version of her book Tricky Chopsticks. The Friends held a free raffle of three copies of the book for attending families. Many crafts were available and Deanna Kwan helped to celebrate the Year of the Snake by teaching adults and children how to fold an origami snake.

Vizzio’s Institute of Martial Arts dazzled with a martial arts demonstration and a colorful Lion Dance. Adding to the artistic flair of the celebration, Isabel Lu coordinated a fashion show and singing performance and Sheila Yang represented the Morris Language Academy. A photo booth captured many young smiling faces.

The Friends of the Library work to support all these events that celebrate our Parsippany community through sales at the Little Nook and bag, jewelry and accessory sales throughout the year.
