SUMMARY:The History of Public Education in Lawrence Township
DESCRIPTION:What Did We Learn and When Did We Learn It?: \nThe History of Public Education in Lawrence Township\nWednesday\, September 17\, 7:00 pm\n\nTwo hundred years ago the world of Lawrence Township school children was nothing like it is today. But many of the education questions their parents faced sound familiar: where should schooling happen\, who should be educated\, and who should pay for it? Learn how different generations of Lawrence citizens answered these questions and how our public schools coped with rapid suburbanization and a changing society. \nPlus\, you’ll take a visual tour of all of the schools\, past and present. Presented by Dennis Waters\, former Lawrence Township historian and current member of the Mercer County Library Commission. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.  \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Manhattan’s Little Syria 
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the first Arabic-speaking community in the United States was in New York City? If the answer is no\, you’re not alone. Until Linda Jacobs’ book\, Strangers in the West\, was published in 2012\, the story of that community had been lost. Even the descendants of the people who lived there (among whom were Jacobs’ grandparents) didn’t know about it! Jacobs will talk about reconstructing the colony\, name by name\, its connection to the many smaller Syrian colonies in New Jersey\, and her newest research on Tuesday\, September 30\, 6:30 pm. Please visit events.mcl.org to register to receive the link to the program.
