Celebrate National Library Week at the Lacey Library

This week, local libraries will be celebrating National Library Week as well as National Volunteer Week.

The Ocean County Library of Lacey Township will be running their usual programs as well as a few extra to celebrate the week, said Gene Schrader, senior library assistant.

This week’s main events include a National Library Week and National Volunteer Week celebration at 2 p.m. Tuesday. The Lacey Library staff will be celebrating with all volunteers and the Friends of Lacey Library. All are welcome, and there will be cake.

Also, the Ocean County Library is kicking off their Geocaching Challenge with a party at the Lacey Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Geocaching is a worldwide high-tech treasure hunt game. Using a GPS, a geocacher can locate a geocache (hidden treasure). When the geocacher finds the treasure, they are to leave another geocache in the same location. For more information on Geocaching, click here.

The Ocean County Library is participating in a Geocaching Challenge, which consists of a series of 17 geocaches. For more information on the Geocaching Challenge, click here.
