That Book Everyone's Got

Still looking for a summer read? The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon was having that same problem and decided to start the first ever “The Tonight Show Summer Reads.”

Jimmy did the research – looked at the cover, read the inner flap, studied the reviews - and picked 5 titles for a viewer vote which was announced on his show, June 29. The winner was: Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.1 This summer, use your library card to "walk around with that book everyone’s got" and read the others while you wait or when you're done.

The 4 contenders were:

  • The Good Son by You-Jeong Jeong
  • The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
  • IQ by Joe Ide
  • Providence by Caroline Kepness

Follow and interact with Jimmy Fallon and the Atlantic County Library System
on Instagram by posting pictures of yourself reading and your comments on the books
using #TonightShowSummerReads and #ACLSReadsWithJimmy.

1 eBook and audiobook formats also available in our Overdrive and Axis 360 digital collections.

It is a place where lives are transformed every day.

Trash to Treasure


The Atlantic County Library System is excited
to partner with ACUA for the
4th Annual Recycled Art Contest

 

Open to Atlantic County residents of all ages, this contest challenges you to use your imagination by creating art with materials from recycling bins and/or trash cans.

Artwork, and completed entry forms, must be submitted between Friday, March 23 and Saturday, April 7, 2018 to any Atlantic County Library System branch. They will remain on display at these locations through April 16.

Selections in each of the 5 categories (8 & under, 9-13, 14-17, 18 & older and Group), will be chosen by ACLS staff and moved to ACUA's facility for judging. Artists of selected artwork will be notified by April 19. The final winners will be announced, and prizes awarded, at the 28th Annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 22, 2018.  All other submissions must be picked up by their artists between April 23 and April 28 at the branch it was displayed.

Pick up complete guidelines and an entry form at the ACUA, any ACLS branch or print it here.
