Our thanks to our Holmdel Library hosts, including branch manager Karen Nealis and adult reference librarian Jessica Laddaga, for all of their hard work to make the event a success. The library features an innovative design within the large Bell Works complex. A key feature of the space is Bell Works' large atrium under skylights, encouraging collaboration in a "metroburb."
